Help mounting a 160 amp circuit breaker

[JRR]

I just got my SunGold Power 24 volt all in one inverter. I also picked up a 160 amp circuit breaker, one of these:

It didn't come with any documentation, just the circuit breaker, what I assume are two insulating pads and two bolts, without any nuts. How am I supposed to mount this thing? I think there should have been a rail or something, shouldn't there?

Can anyone help?


Thanks.

No picture? Maybe it's a panel mount breaker. If it didn't come with DIN hardware on the back.

Apologies for the size. I don't know how to resize photos.

Is that double sided tape on the bottom? With yellow plastic over the tape

You can probably tape that onto din rail clamps

No apologies necessary, it is your thread.
Looks like you have to tap holes into a base plate for the long bolts that go through the top holes in the middle.

Here’s a German guy testing a similar single pole model.

You can turn on CC and auto-translate.

I like bolting through much better than taping either directly or via a DIN clamp.

Maybe it’s possible to bolt on a DIN clamp

You cut a hole in your face plate and come through the bolt holes, OR you drill holes through the back plate and run the long thin bolts through the skinny holes in the top & bottom.

Here's an example of mounting to the back of a face plate:






That's a 160a DC breaker as well.

No, that's just plastic. And I don't really want to rely on tape.
