Author Message   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Friday, August 23, 2002 - 10:13 am:    i am going to be wiring some accessories and i want to avoid conventional fuses. i've heard pinzgaures have ciruit breakers instead of fuses and would like to mimick this idea. any one know where i can find them? i've ben surfing around but no luck yet. thanks rob   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Friday, August 23, 2002 - 10:34 am:    Use Aerospace Circuit breakers in your search. Aerospace and Military vendors specialize in small components.   Paul D.

Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Friday, August 23, 2002 - 11:48 am:    Texas Instruments seems to be the best source. Their CB's can take high vibration, spilled beer and come in different configurations. I.E.: Push Button or Toggle. www.ti.com/mc/docs/precprod/docs/catalog.html Paul '00 pig   Kyle Posted on Friday, August 23, 2002 - 12:11 pm:    Gonna have to do some recalculating their rating because of the voltage switch.... You forget about that Blender Jockey ? Kyle   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Friday, August 23, 2002 - 12:13 pm:    bravo! exactly what is was looking for in manual reset too !   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Friday, August 23, 2002 - 12:21 pm:    Well, once you dive into reconfiguration of fault isolation and protection within the wiring system, you open up a whole new can of worms. Now, Kyle I have your blender right here buddy. For the CB's that I listed the TI source of; voltage is not a concern. Voltage is just the carrier of the Amps. In airplane land, we use these very same breakers for dual voltage type systems. Common amounts are 115 VAC and 28 VDC running simultaneously through these breakers. Paul   Kyle Posted on Friday, August 23, 2002 - 12:26 pm:    now now Air plane puss,,,, when the voltage changes so do the amps applied and how the breaker deals with it . A technicality , yes , but could still be off enough to start a nice little fire or crispify a sensative electronic component. Now you know why I wont fly... kyle   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Friday, August 23, 2002 - 12:35 pm:    That's the beauty of using this product to isolate your auxillary system from the standard sensitive LR crap. Kyle, flying is fun, it's the landings you have to worry about.   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Friday, August 23, 2002 - 12:58 pm:    kyle, shuddup... you are just pissed because you didn't think of this. rd   Axel Haakonsen (Axel) Posted on Friday, August 23, 2002 - 04:08 pm:    Actually, Paul is right. 1 amp is 1amp regardless of the voltage. The wattage changes, though. 1 amp at 12 volts give you 12watts, while 1 amp at 24 volts give you..... ..... drumroll 24watts.   Kyle Posted on Friday, August 23, 2002 - 04:15 pm:    I dont think thats how the breaker sees it Ax... And Rob , you shutup... Kyle   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Friday, August 23, 2002 - 04:45 pm:    these breakers see heat, kyle... rd   Kyle Posted on Friday, August 23, 2002 - 04:49 pm:    Um , yes , and they operate off of an estimation and testing with certain voltage. I think by dropping the voltage you will see a change in their reaction.. kyle   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Friday, August 23, 2002 - 05:28 pm:    i think there will be no noticable difference. they list them as being used in offroad vehicles for god's sake! rd   Peter Carey (Pcarey) Posted on Friday, August 23, 2002 - 05:38 pm:    How about http://www.littlefuse.com/PDFs/Products/aftermarket-17.pdf Will plug into existing blade holders (or you can get an aux. littlefuse holder) and manually resetable. And intended for 12V pwc   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Friday, August 23, 2002 - 05:53 pm:    my Pa was just telling me about those. i might have to go and replace all of the old ones with that. i'm still going hard core with the new ones ;) rd now if i only had a radio   Dee Posted on Friday, August 23, 2002 - 11:36 pm:    Shit if it�s not good enough for Boieng to use in a 60 million dollar Aircraft to protect 1.5 million in radar equipment then its not going on my Disco to protect 500 dollar stereo. Dam where is that piece of scrap of aluminum pressed into that plastic thingy�   Kyle Posted on Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:40 am:    That would be,,,,, "Boing boing" Kyle   Dee Posted on Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 01:13 pm:    ok so i can't speel   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 01:19 pm:    That's all right Dee. You would be amazed at how many people do not know who Boeing is.   M. K. Watson (Lrover94) Posted on Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 05:09 pm:    i once watched a movie, uh it was Armageddon, while being strapped to the seat of a space shuttle the soon to be astronaut commented (and i believe this applies to just about anything related to the aerospace, yes paul including airplanes, industry) it goes something like this,"we are sitting on top of billions of circuits, wires and thousands of pound of explosvie fuel in a craft built by the lowest bidder" or something like that, i too wont fly without being heavily medicated first!!!! mike w   Dee Posted on Monday, August 26, 2002 - 12:26 am:    They dont have enough medication for me to fly with Bruce Willis... LOL on the lowest bidder saddly enough thats the truth of it, look at the hummer..
