[simpits-tech] Circuit Breakers

[Timothy James Boldt]

Jay - If you want to accurately replicate the panel but still have
adequate circuit protection, you could just strap an inline fuse
protector to one leg of the C/B. That way, if the C/B doesn't blow the
fuse will. Plus, you can still pop the C/B to isolate the buss.

Don't really want to blow them remotely, although that a pretty slick
idea with the SCR, I just wanted to use them as a functioning circuit
breaker to protect electronics and what not.

 

You say they are fast but I have read that they are slow blow type
breakers, which is it?

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

Believe it or not, I'm actually at a point now where I can 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?

 

Thanks
