Al:
Where does circuit protection factor into this? Individual Jags are protected by breakers at 40A max. How can 133A continue "over an extended amount of time" without something tripping?
Similarly, the main breaker on the bot is rated at 120A. Two or 4 jags in this situation should equal 266 or more amps. Why no tripping there?
