Re: (ET) Snow blower breaker value

[bushman165s aol com]

Guys,

I'm wondering if these are true DC breakers... meaning 90/105 Amps DC, 
versus AC RMS values for AC breakers. PLUS, remember that breakers were 
developed and used over fuses because society doesn't care WHY it 
blows/trips, they just replace it with a new one and move on. SO, each 
time a breaker is tripped, it's true tripping current is reduced, 
especially if there's a large surge that causes the trip. I wouldn't 
guess that breakers are made to be blown all of the time, and 
considering the age of these machines and parts, I can only imagine 
that they get weak like contactors, motor brushes, relays, and all 
other components. Breakers can get welded shut as well...

Think on that for a while,

Chad

Um. 105 amps? That's like... not too much.

Hm. So for everybody else, do you pop the breaker very often? Just how
much snow are these things supposed to be able to blow?

Maybe I am over-stressing my unit a tiny bit. Question: What's the
breaker on the tiller rated to?
