Re: circuit breaker malfunction
Just posted on your other thread... As for the 120A circuit breaker, we've never had any trouble with it. You may have a defective one, but I doubt it. You may be pulling too many AMP's through your main breaker (Do you have a lot of motors on your robot? Are they geared to go really fast?) or you may simply have a short. Make sure none of the cables after the breaker have rubbed away their insulation and are touching.
