Yes, using the same principle 1 leg has to be unconventionally wired.Ok, I see.
"How do you wire it right as a 2 leg ( + & -) MCB bi-directional current setting?"
You tell me... Is it possible?
Ok, now I am confused!
Just found a site that was selling this DC breaker and it says:
"This is a non-polarized circuit breaker, the input and output directions
of the circuit breaker can be interchanged. Suitable for 12V, 24V,
and 48V Battery Systems up to 600V DC Maximum."

It's the only place I found that it says its a non-polarized circuit breaker.
Chinese specs?...
Is there a way to find out if you have a non-polarized one?
(without burning it... )
A non-polarized MCB doesn't use a magnet as far as I know.Just test it with a steel flat ruler and it is indeed magnetic in both sides,
upper rear side part near the pin hole. The ruler almost sticks to it.
Does this mean that its actually polarized?
There will be no current in the circuit to start a fire if the first half does its job.But then the other half might start a fire!
The bi-metalic part will still save the day, but s l o w l y.
DC breakers are not perfect but still way better than nothing.
Not likely. It claims a max voltage of 48, which means any actual 48v system would exceed it. I would guess it is internally identical to all the similar devices for lower voltage systems, which means it's not going to put enough of a gap in between the contacts to extinguish an arc from a battery system that can flow a couple thousand amps or more.Can something like this disconnect the battery under load without any problems?
