: To whom it might concern,
I am an Engineer on team #343 who works for Square D company. We are currently trying to donate a breaker to replace the 60A fuse. This will allow for a 'disconnecting' means (not pulling the fuse out) and also provide more consistant protection for the motor loads. The only issue with breakers however, is that they tend to trip with electrical pressure (amperage or short circuit pressure). This means that an impact onto a breaker mechanincally can cause it to trip. The breaker is basically the same size as the fuse used this year and allows for wires to be terminated via a screw type lug (rated for #6 wire, actually #4). Several teams are testing this breaker as we speak as well as my team#343. Hopefully we'll have some good news for next year.
Later,
Mike Carron
