The trouble with the self resetting breakers is that they will set there self resetting, passing enough current to feed a fire. It probably limits the current enough so the main breaker would not trip. Even 40 amps @ 12V will burn things if concentrated enough. Think car cigarette lighter for those of you with cars old enough to have them.
