Another question. Would it be advisable to go with Type I (cycling) or Type II (modified reset) circuit breakers in this application. My inclination is to say Type II, but I thought I'd ask.
Seems like the breaker constantly cycling on and off (Type I) would be a bad idea.
I don't know for sure, but some on here have argued against CBs and for fuses for some jobs. Also there are fast and slow ones. That fuses link has some info on that-- scroll farther down.
If it is a quick surge thing only, a resetting CB would be a blessing, but for a "real" over -amp event an actual fuse would be better. Some fuses apparently will still let it through even after they blow if the amps are that high. Others here will have to help with that topic.
