Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2007 1:00 pm Post subject: Double row breaker panel

Anyone have experience (or comments) with installing a two-row  breaker panel. My application would fit nice if I could put my main bus over my  endurance bus, using Klixon 7277's or similar (all of the same exterior  dimensions) and using no more than 2.25" to 2.5" total vertical  space. The panel would unscrew from the instrument  panel and could be worked on on one's lap. I have plenty of space for extra wire  behind the panel. Am I dreaming or can it be done? 

  

 I fully appreciate the benefits of using a fuse panel instead,  but this is a certified ship and soon to be sold. In my area IA's are not very  inclined toward fuses but they are very involved with the sale of an aircraft,  thus the use of breakers.

  

 Thanks for any comments/suggestions.

   That will work and it's been done. Would they

   be more receptive if you had a copy of a 337 where

   the fuseblocks were installed on a Grumman Tiger?

My Bellanca Viking has a dual row breaker set-up......ask me 

again how easy it is to work on that top row....go ahead, just ask!



If you could make a removable access panel it might work....

Todd -

 Did you mean all of the wires?

 Stan

 Do not archive

  

 PS - Actually your advice is appreciated.  I will be doing something similar and I will take your advice and route ALL the wires to one side.

must go to one side of the breaker panel.
