First, you may not tie breakers in parallel. The breaker size is related to wire size so that we don't have robots flaming on the field, but the rules specify branch circuit design on a motor by motor basis. The smaller motors may not have tripped breakers at stall because they are a temperature controlled device capable of maintaining circuit continuity for up to a few seconds when the current exceeds the breaker by as much as 400%. They would have eventually tripped if the stall conditio9n remained. Please remember that with the autoresetting feature, breakers can open and close very fast producing a buzzing sound and the results will be extremely high temperatures at the breaker. If a breaker is warm or hot, believe it was tripping even if there was no other obvious evidence that it was tripping.
