Pre-charge capacitors with a breaker?

[TheCoachStone]

I will have a 48v 280ah battery into a 200 amp breaker and then into LV6048.

I have watched several videos on pre-charging and I bought a 25w030, but none show what do do with an inline breaker. Do I pre-charge through it?

Would it cause an explosion if I hooked up both sides to the breaker (disconnected) and then turned it on?

Jumper the resistor across the breaker. Hold there for about 20 seconds, turn on breaker.

I use an automotive test light. It gets dimmer as the charge finishes.

I use a standard 120V 60W incandescent bulb. Amazing how long my 2700w 48v UPSverter can light it.

That is a solid idea. Thanks
