Re: Fisher Price Breaker Size
Fast does not constitute power.... or amperage... by itself
You need to figure out or have someone help you figure out the power consumption of the motors you are using.
A breaker will not help you with a "hot" motor... A "hot" motor is an indication that you are not at the optimum for that motor... or that you are pushing the motor....
Remember that you must change the gauge of your wiring if you use different breakers... You may always use a smaller gauge of wire...for that breaker but never a higher one. The lower gauge wire will not offer as much resistance because it is bigger. (The higher the gauge of a wire.. the smaller it is...)
You can push more current through low gauge wires than you can higher gauges just like pushing water through a big pipe. (sort of..)
but remember that resistance goes up with temperature so hot wires are more resistant than cool wires.
You want cool wires...it will gain you efficiency...
The main thing is to figure out what is the amperage load that you are needing to pull through that wire/breaker system.
Good luck with this!!
