Title: use pedestal circuit breakers
Post by: fly_ebos on July 19, 2017, 10:32:16 PM
Hi

General question to the board: the pedestal has 4 circuit breakers on the front. I would like to use them as a way to cut off certain power streams when I am away from the cockpit (running around the house)

eg: run the 12v through one breaker so I can cut the 12v to the TQ motors, or the 24v to cut the power to the Korrys.

Can I do this ? If so, best to run the hot wire through the breaker iso the ground wire ?

thx!

Certainly can do this.  Usually the positive side has the breaker in it.
You can never have enough circuit protection!
