All of the commercial trucks I've driven used circuit breakers.

Re: Circuit breakers vs fuses
I will agree with Mike on this one. Why would you want to spend that kind
of money on a breaker setup? Are you buying that many fuses? If so, fix
the problem that's blowing fuses.

Re: Circuit breakers vs fuses
Hi Bill,
No doubt breakers are used in aircraft, boats (like my 270 SeaRay) and
commercial trucks. I guess it's for quick reset under emergency conditions.
When properly sized they can be nearly as effective as a fuse. The cost is
substantially more though.
