Circuit Breaker Simulation

[Tom_G_2010]

Here's a bit of info for you - "real" simulator breakers are the same as non-simulator breakers. The trick is that they're rated for 250mA. The rating on the face of the breaker is a simple decal. Klixon manufactures these. You might be able to score some on eBay.

Those look good but it would have to be an eBay find for sure. At $60 retail each the Klixon 3SB turns out to be more expensive than the SimKits stuff.

Nothing on eBay at this time but I'm adding them to my saved searches.

Thanks!

EBay - Lot of 12 (12 units) Klixon Circuit Breakers current bid is $50.00

It turns out I was wrong on the rating. I checked one of the units I've got and it's rated at 1/2 amp. I did find a source for 3/4 amp breakers here: http://www.protravelgear.com/hanger1...T-BREAKER.html They're $21 or so.

You could use the 1 amp breakers that Ronson2k9 found if you use your output solution to drive relays that can in turn be used to pop the breakers.

Hi
check out a company called ETA they make cb's that look just like aircraft style but cheaper (around$10 each for 0.5 amp) check this link and then look for your local distributor.

Any development in this regard guys? I'm also looking into options for doing my C172 panel CB panel using real circuit breakers.

Hi
do a websearch on "pop out circuit breakers" there's lots of options from $4.50 upwards. Buy the smallest current version if you are going to trip them with relays

I just want to share these circuit breaker replicas that I recently fabricated. They don't work as breakers but function as spring return switches.

Louie, Any chance of getting them on a click on / click off style switch? One of the momentary switches you showed as, I assume, the switch before adding the breaker look alike button to it, is available in momentary of click on/off configurations. I am thinking about an aircraft I was in a while back that had both styles of breakers in it, the black and the white, and I have this layout in mind that would use the white capped breaker buttons as you have them in momentary and the black capped as click on/off.

[Louie Mendez]

hmm? I never thought of making them in latching style but I can work on it.

Hey Tom,

I have sent you a PM I'm unsure if you have received it.
