Interesting, I was inspecting robots all weekend and that was never brought up. I wonder what the logic behind limiting a breaker to only the compressor is.

The document should be updated to emphasize that snap breakers are recommended (but not required) for the compressor, as the current draw on the compressor could be enough to pop the fuse when it starts.
