Breakers as Switches - Good Idea?
Jim White wrote on 2/18/2016 12:55 AM:
I was using ETA 106-P30 trips that have internal resistance of 0.9ohm for the 1a and 0.05 for the 5 amp. The problem was my Becker radio which only likes to work at 12V+. The 5amp breaker dropped the voltage by over 1V on transmit which for SLA batteries made it unworkable. A standard blade fuse had much less impact. Unless your Becker is about 25+ years old, there is something wrong with it. For decades, Beckers have worked to 10 volts. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 - "Transponders in Sailplanes - Dec 2014a" also ADS-B, PCAS, Flarm http://soaringsafety.org/prevention/...anes-2014A.pdf
