I am using an electronic power panel that has electronic breakers. When circuit trips, the electronic breaker resets when the power is switched off. The power switches are at the lower left of my panel; an easy reach right next to the throttle. The electronic breakers have no life-limiting number of cycles, unlike mechanical circuit breakers. I have one 35 amp mechanical circuit breaker located adjacent to the power panel for the 20 amp Diehl alternator on the VW engine.
Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD, USA ------------------------------ The only circuit breaker accessable to the pilot is the fuel pump. It is located just below the throttle adjacent to the fuel pump switches. This is the only item I have to have to stay aloft. There are three pumps (L, R, & a common for either). I will be using Pmags, so if I have partial electrical meltdown, the fuel pump will be my only item of concern, and it is powered from the E bus. If one pump pops the circuit breaker, I can isolate, reset, and fire up another pump. The rest of the fuses will not be replaced in flight. Up in the air is no place for playing mechanic.
