Jason: I thought of this but I can find no DIN rail mounted breakers that perform a GFDI function and are rated for 60 or 80 amps continuous. Do you know of any? Midnite has a 63 amp unit, but this won’t work for FM80 controllers, and if it is not rated for continuous duty, it won’t work for

Jay: I wouldn’t go so far as to say the GSLC is a piece of junk. It does have some flaws, however, particularly the breaker wiring. I informed Outback of the shortcomings soon after it came out but no improvements have been made. We work around the breaker problem with a few procedures:
