Got my 4th turbine flying last weekend. Each has been add-as-you-go to where now I have a mess of wires and meters. Therefore I want to convert/build a nice common combining box with all the connections and meters in one place.
The question is: do I fuse the turbine inputs? I realize this is a lose-lose, if a fuse blows I have a freewheeling turbine which is a bad thing. But, anything that caused a properly sized fuse to blow is also a bad thing.
My thought is that current that would cause the fuse to blow is a worse thing (short, ligtning, etc) therefore I fuse (or circuit breaker). Any thoughts?
