Most of my aircraft electrical system wiring is protected by fuses. Why? Because there are circuits in the plane that if they have enough current flow to blow a fuse, do I really want to re-energize them in the air? My answer is NO. I have a few circuit breakers in critical circuits that I may want to re-energize once or possibly twice. Never more times than that. I have LEDs that indicate whether or not a fuse has blown and alot more instrument panel space. Bob
