In reading several posts, I've noticed that most builders seem to prefer 

fuses rather than circuit breakers.  Can someone tell me the advantages of 

one over the other?

Thanks,


	




  See http://aeroelectric.com and do a search on

  "fuse". There's a wealth of information and discussion

  on this topic posted there.



  The very short answer is that fuses are faster, less

  expensive, lighter, easier to install, lower cost

  to replace and if you've crafted a failure tolerant

  design, no reason to fiddle with them in flight.

  I.e., no good reason to let them use up valuable

  panel space.
