Just for completeness:

It controls the 120VAC heating element in the expansion tank of your Espar hydronic heating system. It lets you have limited heat and hot water...

No. Those are 12VDC breakers. A failure here could well kill all 12V in the vehicle.

Wait a sec...
If I am looking at the right thing, that Samlex unit is an INVERTER, not an inverter/charger....
