Also, would we be allowed to run a Victor (or any other motor controller) to a 30 amp (or 20 amp) breaker on the power distribution slot?

R46 says that each branch circuit must be "protected by one and only one circuit breaker on the PD Board per Table 4-2. " This table states that a branch circuit with a motor controller must be protected with a circuit breaker value of "up to 40 amps" - would running with a breaker of 30 amps thereby be legal?

Would it work? We would likely run our smaller motors (Banebots) off these. We are aware that we may run two Banebot motors to one Victor (per R51).

We are running seven Victors and a compressor off the Power Distribution Board right now, and are wondering whether there is any way to add on more motors besides this that remains within the rules- are there any other suggestions? We've discussed as a team the possibility of replacing some of the motors we have in use with pistons as an alternative if necessary, but like the finer adjustments the motors are able to give us.

Thanks for the help!
