Circuit breaker planning 2, with Klixon breakers

The breaker size is matched to the smallest AWG-dependent current limit of any one branch off a given breaker or split downstream of a breaker. Current limits are taken from Table 11-3 on page 11-15 in AC43-13-1B:

  • 22AWG - 5A
  • 20AWG - 7.5A
  • 18AWG -10A
  • 16AWG - 15A
  • 14AWG - 20A
  • 12AWG - 30A
  • 10AWG - 40A
  • 8AWG - 50A
  • 6AWG - 80A
  • 4AWG - 100A


Breaker sizes inferred from the above table are overridden lower by any stated by Dynon, or by current limits of any interconnects

"Nav/Strobe Lights" switch with separate breaker 18AWG 10A => Klixon 2TC2-10

"Elevator Servo" switch 20AWG lines (7.5A) with 22AWG at the motor (5A) => Klixon 2TC2-5

"Aileron Servo" switch 20AWG lines (7.5A) with 22AWG at the motor (5A) => Klixon 2TC2-5

"Trim" breaker 22AWG - 5A Klixon => 2TC2-5

"Alternator" breaker 12AWG 30A - 25A Klixon 2TC2-25

"Master" switch with integral breaker - 25A => TE W31-X2M1G-25

"Fuel pump" switch with integral breaker - 3A => TE W31-X2M1G-3

Total:

15 separate breakers

12 switches

2 switches with integral breakers
