Hi,
This is more of a question about technique than actual circuity, but I am wondering how to implement a tasteful, secure distribution block that has fuses on each circuit.
Say I have a 15 amp line entering my project box, and I want to distribute the power to some smaller circuits--fusing each one. You can buy distribution blocks, but none of the professional looking, rated ones are fused. Most fuse blocks seem to have connections on each side of the fuse instead of having one side of all of the fuses common.
I have a lot of experience with automotive wiring, which is always implemented like I described. High current enters a fuse block and many individually fused lines leave. Unfortunately, blade style fuses are not intended for high voltage uses, so I don't see any way of doing this cleanly without a bunch of wire splices--which I like to avoid.
Any thoughts?
