Re: Fuse Help
Try using a different 20 Amp breaker; they are kinda funny the way that they handle peak loads and maybe it just wasn't sitting right. The compressor draws high power at start up but shouldn't be drawing high power continuously - remember there is also a 20 amp breaker on the PD Board to the Spike. Check your complete wiring circuit - fix the problem, not the symptom (which is the breaker popping).

I just saw your post Brian - it didn't occur to me that the 40 amp breaker wouldn't fit (duh). It must be a 40 amp fuse.
