Paul,
I agree with your thinking exactly. This is the same basic
setup that Van's shows on their plans. I will always opt for a CB
unless the circuit is a totally useless one, like the MP3 player!
I have been using a 60 AMP circuit breaker on my stock Mazda 70-AMP
alternator. My regulator is modified to shutdown if the "ign" lead
is shut off by the panel switch or the overvoltage protector on the EXP
Buss from Control Vision. Knock on wood, but this has worked as
advertised for 230 hours.

Hi, everyone....Paul Conner here....I purchased a 70 amp
reset type circuit breaker for my alternator from Aircraft
Spruce. Any thoughts about the suitability of using this for
my alternator instead of a fuse? My
thinking was that if it "blew the fuse" at some remote location, I
wouldn't have to search all thru my aircraft for that spare
fuse. Just fix the problem and reset the circuit
breaker. Comments or suggestions? Thanks.
