I also use a simple inline “overload circuit” in each of the 2 zones that I run.
It’s a 12V, 50W globe in series with each bus “line”.
If there is a short, the lamp will glow brightly and give you a moment longer to kill the power or remove the short.
I also use a separate Tam Valley DAB005 booster for rail and accessories.
Another layer of built-in protection.
