If a CB exceeds 80 percent on continuous load, and overheats, would it not trip? The overheat and subsequent trip doesn't hurt the equipment does it? I think that is what WRVPO was trying to say by saying it's either on, or off... If it is drawing 28 amps, and overheating, I don't THINK it is a smart CB and throttles back to reduce overheating, it logically would trip (or catch fire maybe?)?
Point being it could certainly create issues, but if the equipment is drawing 28 amps and the circuit is providing it, the equipment continues to run until the circuit trips, burns up or what have you, right? And if the circuit trips, the equipment quits and for the most part, if equipment does that, it recovers okay.
