Re: Banebots Doubt

Banebots lists the current at peak efficiency at 6+ amps. The 20 amp breaker should work for most designs. However, be aware that many teams are reporting that this motor is smoking when under heavy loads. It is essential for these motors to be operated in a range where the fan has adequate RPM to cool the internals. Plan accordingly.
