Most people seem to get their Airpax breakers from Poco sales or one of
the marine electronics suppliers. Poco has a $25 minimum order, so you
may need to buy 3 breakers.

Hi all,
I recently bought a Century 22, and I'd like to acquire one of
the fast acting circuit breakers used with it so I may power the
Century 22 from a battery. The Ten Tec part number of this breaker
is 1179. If anyone has a spare one of these breakers, I'd be
interested in buying it. AIRPAX was the manufacturer of these
circuit breakers, and an equivalent AIRPAX device would also suit me
just fine. FWIW, the characteristics of the required circuit breaker
are 5.00 Amps continuous current, with a trip current of 6.25
Amperes. The AIRPAX trip characteristic I'd need is, I believe,
either "0" or "1".

There are vendors selling Airpax that may help. A google search on
Airpax fast breakers might turn up a surplus source. There are many
packages with the same speed of operation.
For my Corsair II, I've been successful in protecting the PA with fast
acting fuses chosen to be run close to their blowing point. For that
nominally 20 amp circuit I use a 16 amp automotive type MTA fuse. So for
the Century 22, a 4 amp fast acting fuse would be appropriate. Something
in a miniature or large automotive fuse or type AGC or ABC.
