Electric wires AWG specifications

[V529]

Did you conserve your old fuses or switched to circuit breakers ?

Thanks very much for your time and valuable help !

Kind regards,
Horacio


Horacio,

I did not. I retained my fuses and did not replace them with circuit breakers. At the time 20+ years ago the FAA wasn't going to give me approval to do so. Thus, it was just easier to keep the old fuses. So far I keep spare glass fuses in the glove box. I've only used one since I re-wired the airplane in 2000.

Horacio,

I'm very sorry In my attempt to answer your question about fuses, I clicked on the "edit" button rather than the "quote" button and unfortunately deleted part of your post. Sorry again.

To the best of my memory I deleted the following:
What your intentions were for your wiring,
You had some comments about your Piper in the Congo.
RF suppression with shielded wiring for the wiring to and from the master switch
A thank you for John Kliewer

Hello Victor,

Absolutely no problem,

I see the reasons you had to keep the fuses. Thank you.
I will replace with Circuit Breakers and follow a neat design with a copper bus that Ramp Rat helped me with.
He did a very nice job and posted the pics last year, so I will proceed that way.

The only doubt I still have is to keep the original Cessna design with no fuse between the ammeter and the buss, or to go with the new designs that have one.
I don't see why a short can be produced between the bus and ground in flight, even if the buss bar is not isolated. But for some reason most modern planes, PA28 included, have one C.B. in the line that goes from the ammeter to the bus bar.

One more to learn about !

Thanks you all for your continued help.
Horacio
