Why do we use fuses instead of circuit breakers? Like in cars or furnace circuit boards?
In: 7
In cars I suspect it’s simply a cost issue, fuses are cheap compared to the cost of a breaker and they don’t blow very often. I fly small airplanes (Cessnas and Pipers) and most of them (in fact everyone I’ve flown) use circuit breakers right on the instrument panel. Obviously if a critical circuit overloads you can’t just pullover and find / change a fuse.
