I used breaker switches because they were available to me. Sized them for
anticipated electrical loads and has worked fine. Can turn components on/off
easily. Only had one kick off in service when lights pulled too many
amps.Converted to LEDs and no issues anymore.

Subject: Fuses vs. Circuit Breakers


In a recent email discussion with Myron Truex he suggested I get input
from builders/flyers on their opinions of fuses versus circuit
breakers. It obviously makes sense to have some circuitry protected
by circuit breakers and some not-so-critical circuits protected by
fuses.

What have you done, and what - if anything - might you do differently
if you were to start from scratch? Also, physical location of these
fuses and circuit breakers has importance as well. Your thoughts?

Thanks,

Lance Goddard

I went with automotive type fuses all the way. The fuse blocks are mounted
under the map/glove box, hinged to swing out from under the panel for access
(but not in flight). I'd do it the same way again.

I use breakers because in flight, I do not want to fumble around trying to figure out if a fuse has gone out. When something is tripped you can reset it for emergency use. I bought the breakers from an aircraft salvage business. They have boxes of them in all sizes, and not expensive. In fifteen years, never tripped a breaker.

look out for ( P ) PTC fuses - - - http://www.belfuse.com/Data/UploadedFiles/PTC-Fuses.pdf

I use the 16 volt types and never had troubles.
