Re: Custom power distribution

When I said 30 amps, I meant 30 amps each.
Also I agree, a properly sized circuit breaker is based solely on the wire size or maximum power of any device on that branch, whichever is lower. Example, if your wire can handle ten amps but your DC DC converter can only handle one and will fry if overloaded, you should use a breaker sized for the converter. But if your wire rated for ten amps is used with victors and motors that can handle 100, you should use breakers sized for the wire.
