     I also made extensive use of circuit breakers, but for a slightly
     different reason.  During the building process I got a hold of the
     specs for some of the common breakers used in aircraft and was
     surprised to see the time to trip requirements.  Circuit breakers are
     very slow unless you deal with overloads on the order of a couple
     hundred percent of the breaker rating.  I decided to protect all of my
     electronic devices with fast acting fuses.  I also used LEDs to
     indicate blown fuses, although this feature has yet to be used.
