The Honda 38240-898-000 DC Circuit Protector is a genuine OEM component designed for Honda EG, EM, EMS, and EX series generators, including the EG1400, EG2200, EG2500, EG650, EM1600, EM1800, EM2200, EM2500, EM3000, EM3500, EM4000, EM5000, EM6500, EMS4000, EMS4500, EX2200, EX3300, and EX4500. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the exact specification of the original component it replaces. Confirm your generator's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda updates part numbers at production breaks across these series.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM Protection — sourced directly from Honda, this DC Circuit Protector matches the original part's trip rating and terminal configuration, ensuring the DC output circuit responds correctly under fault conditions.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — engineered to the same form and fit as the factory part, this component installs without modification on compatible generators.
- Broad Generator Compatibility — covers an extensive range of Honda conventional generators, including EG, EM, EMS, and EX series models; verify your serial number against the fitment table to confirm the correct application.
- Restored DC Output Reliability — a failed or tripped circuit protector cuts off DC charging output entirely; replacing it with this genuine part restores proper 12 V DC charging capability so the generator can power battery-charging accessories as intended.
The DC Circuit Protector guards the generator's 12 V DC output circuit against overcurrent conditions. When the draw on the DC terminals exceeds the rated limit — from a short circuit or an overloaded accessory — the protector interrupts the circuit to prevent damage to the generator's wiring and DC output components. A protector that has tripped or failed internally will leave the DC output dead, making battery charging impossible; replacing it with the correct Honda OEM part restores that circuit to full function.
