Default Fuses on the panel, or not

On Wednesday, October 16, 2013 5:26:48 PM UTC-4, Dave Nadler wrote:
Please don't install glass fuses, because they are prone to:

- blowing under vibration (like, rolling during launch)

- even more prone to blowing in gas-powered motorgliders

- corroding and introducing voltage drop at the (non-gas-tight) ends

The voltage drop breakers introduce can be significant and can cause problems.

Use blade types inline (not on the panel!) and avoid these problems...

Hope that helps,

Best Regards, Dave "YO electric"


Can blade fuses be installed in type certified gliders?
