Pump Problems...

well, we plugged the pump through the 60amp circuit breaker and we started playing around with it. (meaning we turned the pump on)...

in less than a minute, the circuit breaker was dying on us...anyone got a clue?

ps. josh is actually the one with this problem as i have not touched those PNEUMATICS. but any tips will help in case josh suddenly drops dead..

Anton,
This is a strange one since there is every indication you can put a dead short across the breaker without tripping it for several seconds. Did the breaker repeatedly trip or just the one time. If just once, it was probably half tripped from shipment. If more than once and the pump was running fine, then you might have a defective breaker. In testing the pump we found it draws about 12 amps when getting upwards of 80PSI but draws more when starting. The start peak is normal and should not trip the breaker.
Let me know what you find.
Al

umm, well i had our baby running at high gear today for like 10 minutes straight on the drills with vicious vicious spins and maneuvers. hmm, i wonder.

can i just buy a new circuit breaker from home depot or something? (is it a specific kind?)

well, time will tell. (do we have any extras of these babies?)
