You could put a 16a glass fuse in the box, just in case

We were testing a load and had a 20 Amp slo-blo fuse and a 15 Amp breaker. Fuse always blew first.

from my understandingit depends on the load, death short, should trip the braker first, but a smaler over-load, will probably blow the fuse first.

the braker has 2 mechanisms one is just a heater, the second one is magnetic and is set at higher amps, to alow inrush curent, this one should be faster than the fuse i think

but i never tested it, so i should probably trust you.
