Re: Power Distribution - Low current breakers or fuses?

This is not necessarily true for the 2009 competition, but it probably will be.

Still don't understand what they have against small fuses for low-powered devices. If it's all about safety, it's worse to use a large breaker for small wire.

What has been suggested in the past on CD is that a smaller fuse panel be used as a subpanel off of a breaker in the main panel. It's not sanctioned by FIRST, though, which is what I fault them for. I wish they would tell teams exactly what they want to see in this situation.
