(Ed, don't cringe!) If I had to do it over, I'd use circuit breakers here, but since we have pump redundancy, there should never a life threatening situation. Remember, a fuse or CB is there to protect the wire not the pump so you might rate your protect to the wire gauge. :-) No problems yet, but we have a short history.
