Custom Power Distribution Guidance

james211 — Fri, 18 Dec 2020 19:07:49 GMT

I need to build a custom power distribution board for an enclosure. I've started putting the schematic together and I'm curious if anyone would be willing to give me some guidance / advice? One of the things I'm unsure of is fuses - proper calculation, one for each output or one large fuse?

I'm attaching a list of the items that will live in the enclosure along with the schematic as it exists now.

Thank you in advance. I have some knowledge, but not enough to be dangerous, but I understand the importance of delivering good power.

Happy Holidays!

I would argue that this forum is focused on how to use the Fusion360 Electronics software, not focused on questions of engineering.

There are many great resources for this kind of thing. Perhaps take a look at:

I did ask prior to posting, also the title of the forum states the following

You can ask any question you like. If you are interested in getting the best response to that question - I suggested asking it in a forum that is dedicated to questions of that type.

Engineering is not the same as the software used to facilitate the task of engineering. Kind of like how learning Photoshop and learning to be an artist are two completely different things. One is a tool that helps you accomplish the latter.
