Re: Breaker Trips
Breakers are chosen for the wire size they are used with. 40 amp for minimum #12 wire. If you only want #18 wire then you can only use a 20 amp breaker. CIM motors can be run on 5 amp breakers if you choose. The breakers are protecting the wire. If the load shorts or the wire shorts at the load end, the breaker will trip before the wire fails.
