            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.
