Re: Victor connect to 30 A instead of 40 A

I did sort of diverge a bit. My point was and still is the breakers are there for more than protecting the wires. Stalling motors or a bad motor controller is probably the most common way to trip the snap action breakers on the robot.

I heard tell last year that some of the 6 cim drives were tripping the main breaker last year.
