the victor fans won't pull anywhere near enough to break a 20A. They should be alone on the circuit and not connected to any other electrical things. (Not to OI, not the victors, not a custom circuit, nothing.).

This is a very smart method. The point of it is to save the victors cooling time should a breaker break. If the fan is connected to the same circuit as the victor (which just broke), then the only "extra" cooling the victor gets is from the break until the fan stops spinning. Then the breaker has to wait until air cools it down. With the fans on a different circuit, when the breaker goes, they continue to cool the victor down.
