I disagree. We have managed to trip the Jaguar current protection many times this year (we had an issue with our kicker leadscrew getting stuck) and I don't think we tripped the snap action breakers a single one of those times.

Brian,
The Victors do not have the same current protection the Jaguars do, they will keep running during the conditions described. It is very possible that you would just move the fault upstream to the breakers by switching the speed controllers however.
