Circuit breaker 150a fuse switch instead of loop key?

#1

Has anyone used these types of 150a fuse switches before instead of a loop key? They seem to be pretty industrial grade fuse switches.

Slightly on the bulky side though

#2

I feel like would work fine, but maybe the spark would still be inside?

Also, imo at that price it makes no sense to use that over a loop key when loop keys are $6 max, and don’t fail.

not sure about the spark, but there are similar ones thats rated up to 72v. So idk.

True, but its an option for people who prefer a ‘switch’ and not a loopey thing sticking out :stuck_out_tongue:

reliable and doesn’t break the bank compared to normal antisparks

I think I remember seeing a build on here some time ago with a switch like this but yeah you do make a valid point :man_shrugging:

Yes, many people have use them including me. They aren’t bad but the spark still happens, internally, and the switch contacts will eventually but up causing the switch to fail. They are typically ok for lower voltages, up to 8s, after that they fail pretty quickly.
