While this sounds good on paper I regret to inform you that a fuse is the only fast response in case of a circuit overload. Circuit breakers take too long to throw because the bi-metal inside of them has to heat up to break the connection. This can become a dangerous situation.

I replaced a fuse today in my car and realized then that my fuse block holds my fuses very loosely. I can nearly pull them out with a single finger. After looking around for replacement fuse blocks, I thought, why not replace them with circuit breakers of the same size? I was planning on getting some panel-mount, manual-reset types. They could be affixed to a cut piece of stainless in the relay compartment, and it would clean things up a bit. Any thoughts/concerns about this? thanks, Matt #1604 To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
