Re: Intermittent connection on field only

I think the Victors will survive.
I actually tested this hypothesis a couple of weeks ago and the 40amp breaker on the circuit will trip before the Victor suffers harm.

The order seems to be:
  • Jaguars trip first (most sensitive)
  • 40 amp breakers trip second
What this means is that swapping the Jag out for Victor will help in marginal cases, but won't do any good if the problem is more than borderline.
Some gear ratios just need to be recalculated.
