The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Circuit Breaker 2 Pole 20 Amp designed for the GS5.6A and G5.6A series portable generators. Sourced directly through Wacker Neuson's parts supply chain, this breaker is the exact component specified for these units, covering the standard, electric start, and wheel kit configurations. If your generator has tripped, failed to reset, or stopped delivering protected output power, the is the correct OEM replacement to restore full operation.
Key Features
- Correct Amperage and Pole Configuration — Rated at 20 amps across a 2-pole design, matching the original electrical specification of the GS5.6A and G5.6A generators exactly.
- Genuine OEM Component — Supplied as an authentic Wacker Neuson part, ensuring the breaker meets the original circuit protection rating built into these generators at the factory.
- Direct Panel Fit — Replaces the original breaker with no adaptation needed; installs directly into the existing breaker panel position on covered GS5.6A and G5.6A units.
- Broad GS5.6A and G5.6A Coverage — Compatible across the standard portable, electric start, and wheel kit variants of the G5.6A and GS5.6A generator families.
- Electrical Safety Compliance — A correctly rated circuit breaker is a critical safety component; using the specified 20-amp 2-pole OEM part maintains the generator's designed overload and short-circuit protection.
A circuit breaker protects the generator's output circuits by automatically interrupting current flow when a connected load draws more amperage than the circuit is rated to handle. On the GS5.6A and G5.6A generators, the 2-pole 20-amp breaker guards the primary power output against overload and short-circuit conditions, preventing damage to both the machine and connected equipment. When a breaker wears out or fails to reset after tripping, the generator cannot safely deliver power — replacing it with the correct OEM-rated part restores proper protection and output.
