Circuit break

Can we use more than one circuit break in the robot?

Exactly one main breaker. Multiple individual breakers will certainly be required in the power distribution panel.

Re: Circuit break

Answer in the manual:
Quote:
R44. The one (1) ROBOT battery, a single pair of Anderson Power Products (or APP) 2-pole SB type connectors, the one (1) main 120-amp (120A) circuit breaker (Cooper Bussman P/N: CB185-120), and the one (1) CTR Electronics Power Distribution Panel (PDP, P/N: am-2856, 217-4244,14-806880) shall be connected with 6 AWG (7 SWG or 16 mm2) wire or larger, with no additional devices or modifications, as shown in Figure 8-8.
If you're talking about the main breaker, only one is allowed.

Do you mean the 120A main breaker? Then no, you can only have 1.

Do you mean the snap-action breakers on the Power Distribution Panel? Then yes, it is fully expected to have several there.
