I am planning Z-12 for my plane but on one of the PDF files of switches I saw that the ALT field CB is put next to the BATT/ALT switch.  How should one do this if all of the other CBs will be in another place in the plane?  Do you just run a single wire form the buss all of the other CBs are attached to? If so is more protection required.  Sorry if this is a dumb question, just trying to understand electrons better.



I like the idea of the field CB being near the switch but can put it with the other CB if that makes thing simpler.

   Note that all of my z-figures recommend the fuse blocks.

   But when crowbar ov protection is included in your

   alternator controls, you need ONE cb. If you're going

   with circuit breakers, then by all means, place the

   alternator field breaker in the same panel space occupied

   by other breakers on the main bus.
