Fuses on the panel, or not
I agonised over this when I re did my own panel. My conclusions we
1) I would not reset or replace a fuse in flight so did not need them on
the panel.
2) Thermal trips need a large overcurrent for a long time before they go.
Low value trips introduce a large voltage drop.
So, I fitted in line blade fuses for all my equipment and use the panel
space for other things. I did buy a fuse block but decided it was too big
and made the wiring cumbersome.
