Our old 55amp Iota had 1 or 2 fuses on it. Not sure what type you have but but you can check to see if there are any on yours.

I don't have a complete picture of your situation but you need to find out what caused the breaker to pop and fix that first.

As others have mentioned, probably 1 or 2 fuses on your converter, however, find out what popped when you reset the breaker. Try to find what all tripped breaker supplies and look for shorts or grounds. Wouldn't recommend trying to keep on resetting that breaker. That could certainly give it the smoke test, but you might have more smoke than you bargined for.

This particular converter is somewhat notorious for tripping the circuit breaker. I have no idea why though. The unit itself has a twist in fuse, which is probably what you heard pop. Turn off the circuit breaker, replace the fuse, turn off everything, and then try flipping the breaker back on.
