Differences between these switch panel

[Gradywhite3535]

I'm going to make some improvements on my electrical system. I want to buy a new switch panel and fuse panel. When I was looking I ran into these panels. the one with the fuses and switchs, can i just run the wire from the panel to my lights directly or does it need to goto a fuse panel? Thanks

You only have one image showing, the other didn't make the trip if there should have been two. With that, you either need a breaker panel or a fuse panel, don't need both. Breakers are easier to reset but also take a split second more time to break connection. Use fuses where you have delicate electronics (VHF, GPS, etc). You can use a breaker panel and still use inline fuses from them to specific electronics

With that panel it has a common power feed to each switch and fuse, the power feed from your fuse panel needs a 20 amp or so fuse with 12 Gage wire then it is sent out to what ever device you need and a glass fuse of the correct size. I use that one, its been very dependable over the years.

Well on the first one its like this. The other one i don't know you will have to find a print on it. I do like the ATC fuses on the E bay one.
