Re: (ET) Circuit breaker in lift motor?

[Charlie <medievalist gmail com>]

I have heard stories of 36 volt lifts snapping strap pins.   My lift
has been wired at 12 volts for as long as I've owned the machine, and
it has stretched hell out of the nylon strap anyway; it's a
surprisingly burly little motor considering what it was originally
intended for.

I don't suppose anybody knows what the rating is on the breaker?
