Get a auto reset 12 volt breaker(10/15/20/25/30) whatever size you feel is the smallest you need. When the room torques up, the amp draw also increases. If you have the minimum size Circuit breaker it will kick out the current and then auto reset in a few minutes. Cheap way to prevent shear pin problems. Doug
