Hi Bill,
While the 20A fast as used on the Corsair will work there is
one problem using it. The Jupiter is not as efficient as the
corsair and at full 100W pulls about 19A. On CW it begins to
activate the trip circuit on the breaker and as you key you hear
a click, click, click coming from the breaker. This is not
noticable on SSB and you can greatly reduce it by dropping power
to 85-90 watts on CW.
I took another route and bought the 22A fast breaker. With the
22A there is still a very slight click on CW but barely
noticable.
Therefore I recommend anyone buying some from POCO to use the 22A
fast, it's still well below the 25A fuse in the Jupiter.
