[Elecraft] Breakers for KPA1500?

[Jim]

While I certainly would recommend conservative design, so long as it’s a KPA-1500 you’re powering don’t worry so much.You won’t be running continuous duty cycle, so the heating of the wire is of less concern.

It would be a bigger concern if the circuit was used on a continuous duty cycle load such as a space heater or air conditioner.
