Re: Circuit Breakers for motors

They used to recommend using 40A for the cims and drills(when we used to have them) but it was never a requirement, there is no reason that they would prevent you from using more protection through a smaller fuse. The 20 A restriction on the globe was for 2 reasons, if you just used the globe through a spike instead of a victor and the wire size spec.
