What kind of circuit breaker and wire should I use?

the Ray Allen Company - Frequently Asked Questions
The full stall current of the T2 and T3 servo is only 600 milliamps. The T4 servo is less than 400 milliamps. A 1 amp circuit breaker can handle 2 trim systems. NOTE: We recommend running the servo off the master bus of your aircraft's electrical system and running the indicators off the avionics bus. This adds another level of protection for the indicators from any stray voltage spikes caused by the engine start/shutdown.

Q How does wire length affect the trip time of today's circuit breaker?

Zlan -- FAQ
When the wiring shorts out, the longer the wire the longer it takes today's circuit breaker to trip. The delay time between the occurrence of a short circuit (when the arcing and sparking begins) and the tripping of the breaker may vary from a few tenths of a second to several minutes, depending upon the available short circuit current. The variance in short circuit current is due to the type, size, and length of wire installed.

In general any type of hookup wire will work - from size 22 gauge and smaller. (The larger the number, the smaller the wire - so 26 gauge is skinnier than 22). I like the "pre-bonded hookup wire" from Small Bear Electronics. It's a cross between stranded and solid core - very nice. In general solid core will stay where you want, but will not like being moved and can break easily. Stranded is much tougher but resists bends and will generally not look as "neat" in an enclosure.

What is a digital circuit breaker?

DCC FAQ 1.9
Should you want to combine analog and digital operations on the same layout, a device needs to be placed on the analog side to prevent the voltages from combining when you go over a gap. This can be accomplished by using a large choke or by a digital circuit breaker. A digital circuit breaker must be used if the "0" bits are elongated (the DC component of the signal is non-zero). Arnold has developed a digital circuit breaker (they call it a Trenmodule) for the N market.

A circuit breaker panel schedule is simply a list of which receptacles and lights are controlled by each circuit breaker. They are often posted on the inside of the panel cover.

Inverters have two or three sets of power carrying wires to be concerned about: the wires from the battery to the inverter, the wires from the inverter to the home (or other load), and in some cases the wiring from a backup generator or other AC source. The wiring for the AC to the home and from the generator is sized just like you would for AC wiring in a utility connected home. It is usually #10, 12, or 14 standard AC wire.

What kind of wire do you use?

Wyrding Studios: fine art jewelry by Kythryne Aisling
Our silver wire is custom-manufactured for us; it is silver plate over a copper core, with a clear enamel coating on the outside to prevent tarnishing and skin reactions.
