My blade fuse-style battery bus has these fused circuits:

1) cabin dome lights
2) the N/O oil pressure switch which feeds the Hobbes meter
3) E-Bus alternate feed fuse
4) low amperage (15A) ground power which goes to the battery, of course

Good . . .

5) power for the over-voltage panel light so if everything suddenly goes
dark due to an over voltage trip, I'll still have a clue what happened.

What item of equipment provides an ov trip indication?
What keeps this lead from draining the battery if it's
not on a charger?

Quote:
Any of those fuses could be handled by an inline fuse. I prefer having
them securely mounted and organized on a fuse block where I can easily get
to them. I have one more slot in the block, and will probably find
something else to go there.

Sounds like a well considered and implemented
battery bus architecture.

I later corrected my (silly) statement that I had the OV warn light on the battery bus (#5 above) in a later post, where i changed the subject from "Digest..." to "why a battery bus" so it would make a little more sense (the subject, not my error!) When I listed OV warn, I must have been suffering from some sort of acute brain fade, or worse, I guess. My alternator warn light is powered through the main bus, of course.

At least as corrected. Thanks.
