Yes, I install 5 PTC Chips for Switched output like Lights, Strobes and etc.
Then put 8 PTCs for non-switched distribution.  The LED lights if the PTC
opens. You have to remove the load to reset.

I tried them by short circuiting the output and the chip opens quickly.

I have 9 amp down to 1.5 amp chips.  Usually limited to 30 amps per board.
Today's equipment draws very little power. The wing tip running lights seem
to take the most.

I think I know what it is but tell me again Jerry. What is a PTC?
What does PTC stand for?
