Plane Power internally regulated 60 amp
Earthx900
Basic Z-13/8 architecture
600 hours on the plane
The fuselink connector from the bus to the 5amp circuit breaker failed and I crafted a new one. This one lasted 2 flight hours before failing in the middle of the 22 gauge wire.
I don't understand the purpose of the fuselink in front of a 5 amp CB and how can it carry enough current to melt the 22ga wire without tripping the CB?
Prior to this problem, I experienced an over-voltage event two years ago and the CB tripped as expected.
Any help would be appreciated.
