Main breaker: 1% concern. You can dump 500 amps through it for over a second if I recall correctly. 140 amps can draw for well over a minute. Who has the chart?

See the chart on the bottom right of the first page. You can go for ~5s at ~480 amps (120 * 400%).

Never worked with overloading snap actions before, but the chart on their data sheet shows that it should be ok to run 67 amps through one (167.5% of the rated current, which the data sheets say could be done for about .. 5s?
