It is entirely possible to do that however all electrical systems in an aircraft are designed with cb's, just like your home panel, so that they trip when there is a malfunction. Pilot's have access to the cb panel so that they can be reset in flight, but that means they can also be pulled.

You wouldn't want any system to run hot as a snag could blow your electrical supply, or worse cause a fire.

You also wouldn't want the cb unaccessible, cause if it trips due to a small spike you wouldn't be able to bring the system back online.

Catch 22.
