Thats a really good question. I would say no .. but I just looked at the rules and there isnt anything that says you cant. I also checked the Q&A, and came up with nothing. I dont think the kit came with 6 breakers .. only 4. I would ask FIRST about it before I connected the FPs to a 40a breaker. The power dist. diagram shows it being connected to the lower portion of the breaker panel meaning it would be protected with a 30a.

If you keep tripping the 30a breaker, you might have a problem with the way you're using the motor. I wouldnt put those motors on a 40a breaker - but thats just me.
