Re: Current Measurement

This will add to your confusion...
All motors are in stall when power is applied and the rotor is not moving...i.e. when starting.
Snap action breakers can withstand a 600% over current without trip for a second or two, 200% overload for up to 10 seconds.
Snap action breakers reset almost immediately.
CIM motor is 129 amps at stall,
Battery is capable of delivering 600+ amps at full charge.
