Re: Maxi Block Issue
Mike,

You said what I said. As long as the trip point of the breaker is BELOW the stall current of the motor, then you are good. What am I missing? The rules do state that you can't use a 40 amp breaker for the window motors, but I can't seam to find it right now. The reason you can't is that the breaker will not protect you as it is above the stall current of the motor.
