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

Use Aerospace Circuit breakers in your search. Aerospace and Military vendors specialize in small components.

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.

Gonna have to do some recalculating their rating because of the voltage switch.... You forget about that Blender Jockey ?

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.

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... :)

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.

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.

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..

How about

Will plug into existing blade holders (or you can get an aux. littlefuse holder) and manually resetable. And intended for 12V

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…

That's all right Dee. You would be amazed at how many people do not know who Boeing is.

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!!!!
