I'm planning more of my wiring and I will have dual P-Mags.
My question is more electrical than EIS but here goes.
In making a test switch for the P-Mag system, is it acceptable to just have a pullable breaker? I am worried that pulling the breaker during every pre-flight will wear it out. I also won't have any other breakers, all fuses.
My other alternative is to wire a DPDT switch that is wired Off(grounded)- On(Test-No power) - On(Normal). I worry this will add unneeded complexity to the EI wiring though.
Any tips from people who have done it?
