Re: 30a breaker for 40a spot on pdb

Thanks for all the great info. Our main tripped in the last match at Milwaukee with about a minute left. We were kind of angled into the tunnel trying to get past another robot that was blocking. The main tripped. There is no way anything mechanical tripped it, it is to well protected from that. What is confusing is that I don't think we were pulling any harder than we had at many other times that day. At the time we had a ball on our vacuum and it was running. Not sure what it draws with a ball on it but the 2 FP motors pull about 30a when running free. So, that in conjunction with stalled cims is what probably tripped the main??
