Horse Power - Chief Delphi

The biggest fallacy in FIRST is the belief we are just a bunch of different teams. We are ONE BIG TEAM with a lot of sub teams for the purpose of competition. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]

Re: Horse Power

Guys,
40 amp breakers (actually all breakers on the robot) can withstand short periods (seconds) of 600% over rated trip current. CIM motors stall at 133 amps which is well below the 240 amps that would instantly trip the auto resetting circuit breaker. The breaker resets almost instantly.
