Re: Wire sizes: 14 AWG in the 2017 KOP

For instance, any of the motors that draw from 21 to 30amps would be candidates, like the snow blower motor.
Any motor with a maximum draw less than 20a (like the throttle motor), and most custom circuits could use a 20a breaker.
Any motor drawing more needs to be on a 40a breaker.

Although, you can go over the breaker limit for short amounts of time, and if your usage is not stressful you can sometimes get by with a lesser breaker.
