The fuse idea came from Bob Nuckolls.  There are about 30+ fused circuits

in the plane and they are of the spade (automotive) type mounted in a

split block obtained from Bob Nuckolls.  The split block is to separate

the emergency section from the rest of the circuits as described in

Nuckolls'  writings.



My system is complicated by having a 24 volt alternator.  Since a number

of circuits require 12 volts, a separate fuse block is devoted to 12

volts obtained from electronic voltage dividers.



Also follow Nuckolls' idea of keeping all light filaments energized with

a low voltage all of the time the master switch is on.  So far none have

burned out in 3 years and 250 hours, including the landing light.
