Fuse blocks are used for the main bus and clearance delivery bus but I do have a few breakers. Flap, trim and auto pilot breakers located near the fuse blocks. The field breaker is next tho the master switch. My question is: Do I protect the 12AWG wire going from the main fuse block stud to the breaker copper bus bar. It would seem to me, to be considered part of the fat wire coming from the master contactor but I'm unsure hence the post. The field breaker will get a fusible link, so I'm covered there. -------- Michael Fleming Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=500820#500820 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:18:48 PM PST US Subject: AeroElectric-List: Re: Fuse Block - Breaker Combination From: "user9253" It depends. Is the wire only a few inches long? Is it well supported so that even if a terminal breaks, the wire will not fall? If that wire has mechanical protection, then electrical protection is not necessary. -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=500821#500821 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message aeroelectric-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/AeroElectric-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/aeroelectric-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/aeroelectric-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
