Circuit Protection

In spite of common practice and years ago even part of design and approved procedures, there is a safety objective behind avoiding excessive cycling of circuit breakers. It weakens them over time and diminishes their protective capabilities. FAA requires switches and controls be used instead of CB’s for routine on/off purposes.
