Thanks for your response Eldartford. I would like to find a bolt on breaker with a large contact patch. Stii looking. I started to think, though, that a regular fuse even the old screw type fuses would seem to provide a better more positive connection when compared to a snap in breaker. Thanks again for your input.
fuses instead of breakers?
I've been looking at new sub panels and breakers lately and I am amazed/disappointed in the quality of the breakers in particular. The contact surface area, even for a bolt on breaker, seems to be so ridiculously small. All this work to get good power, good wire, outlets that grab, power cords, grounding rods and then you have this flimsy connection to bus bar?! The old style fuses seem to me to have a better mechanical connection then breakers. Does anyone use a fused sub panel for their audio? Are there panels that would except the Isoclean fuses for instance?
