Re: FRC Design- Tips, Tricks, and Effective Methods
I sure he was talking about circuit breaker tripping... the main circuit breaker is delayed action (lost the correct phrase), which means it takes few seconds after the current exceeds the limit (in this case 120 Amps). As I understand the main breaker responds to heat generated in due to high current. So it would make sense to cool the breaker before the next match. We have not done it.
