Jay --<br>you realy have to define fast.. is it seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, or nanoseconds....<br>lets start with the fastest..<br>nanoseconds TTL (gates switch at 2-5 ns. (realy fast) <br>microseconds instruction time of a microprocessor.<br>
milliseconds times fuses and circuit breakers pop (it has to heat up)<br>seconds oh i wish i had a 11 second 1/4mile car :)<br>so<br>in old semiconductor amps the joke was the finals blow faster than the fuses!!<br>last thought..<br>
most of what you have in the cockpit is SIMULATED! ie what do you have to protect?<br>In my cockpit i have control heads which have micros in them and my whole project is running on <br>message passing via Ethernet <br>please read more about my projects:<br>

joe you can use real CB's but and them blow them remotely with a SCR (see <a href="http://simptis.wetpaint.com" target="_blank">simptis.wetpaint.com</a>), the CB carrys the
load or drive relays<br>
(bah), and dont worry about spikes ALL electro mechanical devices spike but
true aircraft brakers are very fast much faster than your <br>
house and, i figure if it good enjouh for the AF etc then its good enjough for
me..... <br>

start running power to the sim. I seem to recall several years ago this
topic but don't recall the details. I have several aircraft type circuit
breakers (DC rated) I'd like to use for the DC voltages in the pit (I'll leave
the AC stuff to my house circuits). Does anyone know if these can safely
be used in this type of application? Some of you guys with Heavies pits,
I know ya'll use circuit breakers, what configurations are folks using, if any?</span></font></p>
