Re: FISHER PRICE BREAKER?

TPN,
There is no restriction on what breaker to use with any motor. The breaker rules match breaker size to wire size. You can run an FP motor from a 20 amp breaker if you wish. It needs to have a #18 wire or larger if that is the breaker you choose.

<R47> All active Power Distribution Board branch circuits shall be wired with appropriately sized wire:
A. 12 AWG (2.052mm) or larger diameter wire must be used for all circuits protected by a 40A circuit breaker.
B. 14 AWG (1.628mm) or larger diameter wire must be used for all circuits protected by a 30A circuit breaker.
C. 18 AWG (1.024mm) or larger diameter wire must be used for all circuits protected by a 20A circuit breaker.
