Re: Circuit Breaker Panel

Paco,
You can run the chalupas from 30 amp breakers using the small fuse blocks and the appropriate sized wire but... As Erin pointed out, you wouldn't want to make that decision on a drive motor, you need all the protection you can get.

In order to use the 40 amp breakers you must use the four position Maxi block and the distribution block for the common returns to feed speed controllers, per the robot electrical drawing and robot rules.
