Try your math again using more current draw -- FRC breakers will handle well over 40A for short durations. 60A draw for a few seconds is not uncommon.
Joe Ross linked the breaker data sheet in another thread earlier this year.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
