Re: 5 amp circuit breakers

Not to confuse you even more, the rules on the breaker size relates to the wire each breaker is feeding. The breaker is a safety to prevent the wires from burning up not to protect the motors. CIM motors will still draw 129 amps at stall no matter the size of the breaker you install.
