Re: Fisher Price Breaker Size

This is an IFI recommendation that First has applied in the past. Compressor start can go as high as 25 amps but run is only 10-12 amps. This is a guarantee to blow the fuse even though it is an extremely short duration. However, used in other services, a breaker could easily allow more than 20 amps continuous without trip which is enough to destroy the relay.
