Son, You Need Protection

[Sierrajack]

I know this has probably been asked before and I have searched but can't quite come up with a good answer.
My 110 volt circuit will have one GFCI in the galley and a power strip with circuit breaker in the cabin. Is it necessary to also have a seperate circuit breaker panel?
Our local "big box" store has circuit breaker panels about the size of a shoe box, can anyone suggest something more compact to fit within the confines of a TD?
I would like to have circuit protection with the GFCI and power strip just to be on the safe side.

SJ...goto www.waytekwire.com and look for "circuit breakers>>>panel mount"...they have some VERY nifty pushbutton circuit breakers from 10 to 40 amps...about the size of a paper matchbook for under 3 bucks apiece...we used 'em and were very satisfied...we made a panel to mount them out of some scrap formica that we painted black...

I used this:

Right Angle GFCI Plug
Power On LED
(4) NEMA 5-15 R Outlets
Separate Covers for Each Outlet

It is a GFCI, circuit breaker and quad outlet in one nice little package. I know Mike and others have used something similar. Available at Lowes.

Your circuit breaker needs to be in front of your GFCI for it to be protected. Your incoming line can be the breaker/GFCI power strip and everything plugged into it will be protected.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate you!!

Madjack - Those panel mount CBs are exactly what I've been looking for.
I'll order a couple tomorrow when Wayteks website is up, apparently they have some problems today.

Endo - No Lowes here, Menards has a monopoly.

Miriam - yep, the first thing the incoming power touches is the circuit breaker.

Waytek has been physically moving locations and there site has been temporarily down while the move is completed.....
