Re: motor stall current vs Victor ratings

Unless the rules change this coming season, relative to last year, I suggest a single 40 amp breaker, feeding a single Victor 884, connected to a single CIM motor.

Yes, the Victor 884 is rated at 40 amps continuous, and the breaker is rated at 40 amps, but both of these parts will sustain higher currents for short time periods.

So do you suggest a single Victor 884 for one of these large motors, or two in parallel for each motor, each with an independent 40A circuit breaker?

Thanks again!
