And another question 



Question: is there a suggested maximum wire length used when incorporating fusible links in a system? (or threshold for switching  to something else?)



Background: I am building a Z-19 system for my pusher aircraft. The important electrical components are all in the rear of the aircraft near the engine. This includes the Main Power bus and Ammeter shunt. The Master switch and Ammeter are located up front on the panel, being separated by about 10' of wire length in both cases.



I am wondering if that is too far to run the fusible link wire from the Main power bus to the Master switch. Same concern for the shunt to ammeter fusible links.



Thanks for input and advice,



Mike
