Re: Power Distribution - Low current breakers or fuses?

What's so odd here is that the released documentation (specifically Chapter 3 Component Data Sheets, page 13) specifically states "A 5A breaker is acceptible here", and it uses AWG 22 wire to feed the auxillary functions.

To me, a 5A protection device is more than "acceptible", it should be required with AWG 22 wiring.

I have yet to find any fuses (allowed or not) or breakers in the required format for this VB3 panel that are less than 20A.

This inconsistancy must be addressed somehow. I am anxiously awaiting the Kickoff tomorrow to see if the encrypted doc's shed any more light on this.
