Mark,
I can’t answer your questions, but this is from Van’s description of the panel of the prototype RV-12:
“The six small slots on the left side are plug-in fuses — cool little units that light up when they blow.”
They don’t say anything more about them, but to see the story on the RV-12 panel, see http://vansaircraft.com/public/rv-12int2.htm
or the latest issue of RVator.
Terry
Anyone using or know if these Smart Glow Fuses are useful, and whether they will fit the fuseblocks B&C/Steinair sell? (They appear to be ATC/ATO type but not too clear from website) Googling didn't find much info...

I saw these in my local autoparts store....Looks like they are standard
ATC fuses.

The last time these things were discussed someone mentioned that they
don't provide much advantage. You are most likely to be looking at the
fuse block if you already know that something isn't working and
hopefully your fuses are labelled. Also since they do pass a small
amount of current they can make for some strange voltage readings if you
do any testing while they are illuminated.

Hello Mark -
We're using the "glow" fuses with the black Bussmann blocks.
They fit just like the standard ATC/ATO fuses. The only
difference is that they stick up a bit higher because of the
little "light" on top.
Waytek Inc. (www.waytekwire.com) is a good supplier for
them, too. They also have breakers that fit into the
ATC/ATO slots. Has anyone tried these?
