More electrical work

During the week, with only an hour or two to get things done and not wanting to get dirty, I’ve been doing electrical work.  Below, I’ve installed the ammeter shunt (top) and an ANL current limiter (bottom).

The shunt is what measures the current flowing into or out of the battery, and the current limiter is basically a fuse that will blow out if the alternator malfunctions with excessive current.  They’ll be wired up later.

Speaking of circuit protection, I’ve installed a few of the circuit breakers.  There are fuses behind the panel for most things, but I do have a few pullable circuit breakers for the more critical items that may need to be disabled or reset in flight.

I’m also getting started on the switches.
