Re: Breaker for Large CIM

Remember the breaker rules protect the wiring, not the motor. When asked, I am recommending the 40 amp breaker and #10 for any Chalupa motor. If you are designing the large motor for some miniscule task, you could save a little weight by going to a smaller breaker and wire.
