The only specification I found is rule R39-A:

<R39> All active PD Board branch circuits shall be protected from overload with an appropriate value auto resetting Snap Action circuit breaker (from the KOP or identical equivalent).
A. Each speed controller branch circuit must be protected by one and only one 20-amp, 30-amp, or 40-amp circuit breaker on the PD Board. No other electrical load can be connected to the breaker supplying this circuit.

which isn't really helping at all
