A circuit breaker or thermo magnetic fuse is an indispensable part in the installation of an electric windlass. A brand like Lofrans considers it a requirement to be eligible for warranty at all. This thermal fuse is located between the + wire from the battery to the control box of the winch and immediately switches off the power in the event of dangerous short circuits. In the event of overload, it does not immediately switch off the power, but uses a curve, which allows the winch to be overloaded for a short time, after which it switches off the power after about a minute. This makes it possible, for example, to deploy the full power of the winch when the anchor is stuck. Just like the modern plug in the meter cupboard, the breaker can easily be switched on again after tripping.
