Oh. Well then. That'll be bad in a stall circumstance. Pardon me for my incorrectness.

Re: Climber help: thermal breakers.

The snap action breakers we use (including the main breaker) can withstand 600% over current for a few seconds without trip. They can also withstand 125% over current for quite a while. My suggestion is prototype your climber and take some reading to be sure.
