Simpler than a fuse :-)  
I'm curious, what amperage = is the breaker?  Have you ever measured the current through it during o= peration?  I recall that I used a 5A breaker on the RV-8 (35A alt), whi= ch was the only breaker in the entire plane.  The only reason I had it = was to allow electric Bob's crowbar circuit to work.  
Cheers,
