In the application of the alternator Battery lead, is there some advantage

of a current limiter over a breaker?

    The real question to be asked/answered is why would you consider

    a breaker and where would you mount it?  The philosophy behind the

    Z-figures includes a design goal to get fat wires (noisy) out of

    the cockpit.  This philosophy has been adopted on a number of

    TC aircraft. See:

    If you move b-leads out of the cockpit, would you use a

    breaker out on the firewall . . . or a limiter? Since the

    breaker is more complex and less comfortable in the

    under-the-cowl environment, everyone I know uses limiters.
