Re: motor stall current vs Victor ratings

Quote:
Are the circuit breakers provided in the KOP auto resetting? Main breaker auto resetting?
Yes though you definately don't want to rely on this fact. You actually want to gear the motors down so that they are not drawing that much current. Sufficient gearing means that the motors will not be drawing as much current as needed. As you pointed out the stall current far exceeds the rating on the Victors.

No.
