Re: Out of 40amp slots

4+4=8, the exact number of the 40amp slots on the P/D board.

Problem is, were missing our bridge manipulator which is most likely two window motors. And I'd like to put those in the 40amp, as they need the power. Would anyone recommend putting a victor/jag into a 30amp for something like a conveyor belt?? It seems like it should be fine, but I thought I'd check.
The Banebots and Fisher Price motors are both fine at 20 or 30 amps, so they can be moved down. I don't think the window motors need 40 amps, either.
