Can I legally install a panel-mount, or in-line (aircraft >wiring?) fuse holder such as from Spruce in a certified airplane? >Thank You for your time. First, this is between you and your IA. It's a 'modification' but can probably be considered minor . . . perhaps needing nothing more than a log-book entry and update to the weight and balance. On the other hand, an IA that knows a great deal about the need for balanced flight control surfaces MIGHT elevate the task to something akin to an STC for JATO assist take-off bottles. Do some IA shopping FIRST. There is no reason in physics, legacy practices nor past examples of type certificated aircraft stating that you cannot use fuse-holders. The FARs require only that feeders from the bus be protected from conflagration due to faults . . . they speak to 'circuit protective' devices which has included fuses, circuit breakers and (for the currents you're talking about) PTC self resetting fuses. First, are you sure you NEED to add any circuit protection? It's entirely 'kosher' to run multiple appliances from a single fuse/breaker as long as loss of all appliances on the circuit does not offer more than a maintenance event. These things sound like they're rather innocuous with respect to aircraft operation . . . can you power them from an existing breaker powering an equally innocuous appliance? If you decide to add fuses, make them panel mounted and accessible to crew is probably unnecessary too. Consider in-line fuse holders tied into wire bundles close to where they tap the bus structure. This style of fuse holder was used on many of your airplane's ancestors . . . [] An if you have both space and desire to panel mount some fuse holders, these are one option of several . . . You can acquire the holder above or the one below from a local car-parts store. The one below uses the plastic ATC style fuse and would tie into the wire bundles behind the panel. Emacs! You probably wont find an ATC1 fuse in the car parts store but an ATC3 or 5 is fine. Bottom line is that there are no practical restrictions in physics for adding these devices to your airplane . . . it's more a matter to be decided between you and whoever is going to sign off your paperwork.
