Re: Fisher Price Breaker Size

IMHO the application rules are R46A and R54A.

You have to connect the FP motors to a Jaguar or Victor. A relay is not allowed.

You can supply the speed controller with 20A, 30A, or 40A and it must be dedicated to that speed controller.

20A may be a better choice if you are not sure that your gearing allows the FP to run fast enough not to burn itself up.
