Fuse Block Solutions

Some of your current draws are very low and can be combined onto a single fuse block terminal using a Y-splitter (which we gave you in the kit). For example, you may combine the light and the controller onto a single fuse since neither draws very much current. Likewise, the climate-control actuators (as mentioned in an earlier posting) draw very little current, even when stalled, so they can be combined onto a single fuse. The compressor has a fairly low current draw and only runs intermitently, so I would not hesitate to combine it with a small Keyang onto a single fuse (you won't ever be stalling the compressor, right?)
Some people have asked about replacing the 20A fuses with 20A slow-blow circuitbreakers (like the 30A ones we use with the Victors). It is OK with the Rules Committee since they will still provide the safety we require; their terminals must have the same size and shape as the 20A fuses, so no modification of the fuse blocks is required.
