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.

At stall those drill motors should be drawing enough current to trip the breakers. I really do not remeber the number off the top of my head but it is a big enough that it should have tripped the breaker. I can't get onto the First website so I really can not check the stall torque on the motor. Do the circuit breakers have a time delay in them??
