Re: van Door motors stalling help

You are most likely tripping one of your breakers. They are thermal resetting, so once they cool down they will work again. But that doesn't solve the problem of what is causing the breakers to trip in the first place.

I would check your math again to see if you have that motor geared correctly so it has enough torque for the application you are trying to use it for.
