Circuit breakers vs fuses
/www.chiefaircraft.com/cgi-bin/frame-aircraft.cgi?URL=/Aircraft/InstallationSupply/CircuitBreakers.html
I am thinking about replacing the fuses in my 99 TJ with push-pull type aircraft breakers. I am going to make another overhead panel to hold the breakers for easier access. http://www.jeepboard.net/modules.php...view_photo.php I plan to mount the breakers in a panel forward of the electrical panel. Other than expense is there any other valid reason they uses fuses in autos instead of breakers? |
Re: Circuit breakers vs fuses
Unless you buy really expensive breakers, they are a lot slower than
fuses. Things like stereos and computers and about any other electronic part you want to name work best/safest when fused. By the time some IC chip circuits see an overload big enough to pop a mechanical breaker, they are long dead.

The breakers I am looking at run $14. to $22. each and are used to protect avonics in aircraft. |

I have seen PB relays in electronic circuits lots, but never have I seen one of their circuit breakers used for electronics. I also couldn't find any speed rating for them which implies they are just regular breakers. I sure wouldn't use them. Mike |
