We fried an 884
We had a demo today. One of our drill motor gearboxes locked up, stalling the BDM. No big deal, we've done it before.

However, when we did it before, we had a 30 amp circuit breaker on.

With the 40 A circuit breaker, we fried the Victor 884. Based on comments on this list, I have been a bit hesitant about using the 40 A breakers. Now, we have evidence that they do not adequately protect the 884 when a motor stalls.
