At higher voltages, the circuit breaker does response much quicker if a short is detected. However, at lower voltages, it is very slow to trip. I may consider the fast blow fuses.

I Think I'd have the Ammeter in the 0-30 range also and I didn't see any post about it but your measuring A/C Amps. not D/C.

I'm not really certain the automotive circuit breakers will open up like you want them to.Your best bet there is a fuse block with Fast blow fuses.

If you use digital meters and not analog(Has a dial and a pointer) you can probably find them in a range that would be high enough you'd never have to worry about "Peaking" and they look kinda cool when you have the digital volt and ammeters in an inclosure right there at your transformer.
