I'm not sure on this, but I think that the breaker will trip even if the switch is forced in the on position constantly. Even if it could be "kept on", it would defy the whole purpose of the 60 Amp breaker, which is to prevent overheating and a potentially major fire hazard.
I hadn't thought about shock affecting the breaker, but it makes sense now that I think about it. Often, the biggest amp load is when the robot runs into something and the motors are pushing hard, which also happens to be a big physical shock. Bad combo for the 60 Amp circuit breaker. |
