| Jan 2, 2017 at 17:30 | comment | added | keshlam | If you absolutely insist on being stupid, you would want a device which produced a current-limited flow for a very limited time. Putting a second breaker in doesn't do that; you would need load resistors/inductors adjusted to just over the breaker's liad rating, and something which kept the circuit from being held closed any longer than required to establish that the breaker had failed. And it would still be an incompetent's solution to the wrong problem. Better answers are available cheaper and with less effort. Stop trying to make this work. | |
