    While CBs and fuses essentially "do" the same thing (limit current) the way they do it and the response to overcurrent are different.  Generally, Fuses react faster than CBs to overcurrent situations. The component they (CB/Fuse) supply power to determines what type of protection they need. In this case the TQ and TIT Cbs feed 155VAC to power supplies/amplifiers while the fuses provide 26VAC to drive pressure transmitters and gauges without separate internal power supplies.  

    Thank you very much for your information

    Can I imagine using a circuit breaker for more loads and a fuse for less loads?

    My gut feeling is the devices under load are considered more long lasting and stable and less likely to need a circuit breaker. Rare that a transformer fails, certainly at those loads. This is instrument power, 26 VAC single phase if I recall right. Never saw one fail in 26 years of fixing and flying.

    Thank you.

    I see that the current used by the fuse is either 1A or 2A
