I seem to recall that CB's are generally used to protect the wire, not whatever the load is. Figure out what gage wire is used for the power supply and size the CB accordingly. Some items may specify a certain size CB and that would override the wire size dictum.

Dave, welcome to the AeroElectric-List.
Forgive me, I'm not trying to duck your question
but a really lucid answer to your question is
a bit longer than one might offer with a few
minutes of explanation.
May I suggest you download this document
http://tinyurl.com/pt97pha
where chapters 8 and 10 will lay foundation
for your understanding of the art and science
of wire selection and the philosophies for
protecting those wires.
If further expansion is needed, please bring
your questions here.
Are you building an airplane? Which one?
How do you plan to use it?
