10 amp breaker

[mbrooke]

What, if anything, would a 10amp breaker be used for? I see these more and more often in electrical supply web sites and catalogs.

Control circuits, etc.... Possibly small packaged HVAC units.

Zone modules. Could be solid state contactors within the module but I don't know.

I could see it that way.

I have seen them in solar sub panels, I think to their ct's for monitoring purposes.

I used to use them inside control panels for feeding a bunch of control circuits. Cheaper and simpler than DIN rail mounted breakers but takes up a lot more room.
