Re: troque

When it comes to popping breakers, there's actually a time dependence related to current. A small overage takes a longer time to pop than a large overage. 100+ Amps would pop that 40A breaker almost instantly. Maybe it could be tolerated for something on the order of milliseconds, but not much more.

Also, on a side note, the breakers pop more slowly with repeated usage/popping. I suppose it would be a "gentle" workaround the rules to deliberately pop the breaker a number of times to draw extra current. This isn't in the spirit of the competition, but it would be literally legal.
