I'm looking at circuit breakers for the panel, the Klixon 2TC2 seems like they would work fine. I only need 5 circuit breakers. I noticed that they are good for 2500-5000 cycles, which is well over the number of times I would use a switch in 1000+ hours, is there any reason I couldn't use them as a switch and dispense with the external toggle switch?
I am aware that they sell the circuit breakers with an a toggle switch on them, but for $200+ each, that would be over 10% of the cost of the whole plane in 5 circuit breakers, so no thank you.
I also know that a small fuse box/panel is an option, but I would much prefer the breakers.
I've also looked at the Klixon 7277-1 "inexpensive auxiliary switch", this is not an indicator that it is ro be used as a switch, it means that when the circuit breaker is off, it switches on a secondary circuit.
