Line 1: Line 1:
 +====== General Specs ======
  
 +Marine switch/fuse/circuit-breaker equipment is expensive.  Circuit breakers are nice, but I'm fine with fuses as long as they aren't glass which take up space.
 +
 +I'm thinking of combining a basic switch block (could be pre-made) with automotive style fuse blocks with ATO/ATC/APR fuses (the square plastic tab).
 +
 +Lastly I am considering using old-school telecom cable lacing in place of cable ties.  Not only is it knot-based, but looks cleaner and doesn't cut hands open.
 +
 +====== DIN Rails ======
 +
 +Could DIN rails be used for circuit protection, distribution, and possibly relays for switches?
 +  * http://www.solar-electric.com - low cost circuit breakers (~$10)
 +  * evaluate cost, don't lock into expensive solution
 +  * could be cool but overkill
 +  * http://altechcorp.com
 +  * http://mouser.com
 +  * http://www.newark.com/wago/859-303/din-mount-relay/dp/28K2321 - DIN 12V5A relay
 +  * http://www.omega.com/ppt/pptsc.asp?ref=XBUTD&Nav=autg02
 +  * http://www.automationdirect.com
 +
 +Types
 +  * UL480 - branch protection
 +  * UL1077 - Supplementary protection
 +
 +====== Labeling ======
 +  * Should I call it a Power ID (PID)? :)
 +  * Documented starting at battery flowing to device
 +  * Circuit##-Switch##-Device##: D##-S##-C##
 +  * Example, VHF: **C04-S07-D13**
 +  * Allow for daisy-chaining devices if down a common feed?
 +    * Example, Bow/Stern Light feedline: **C01-S01-D01-D02**
