Maybe I making an assumption here that I shouldn’t but I hope you don’t mean that you had moved the breaker to the battery box on the inside? If you ever been in a dark room when one of those did it’s job it’s really impressive and you sure don’t want it in the battery box if it ever has to trip

Hi Mac, Just off the top of my head I’d say you’ve likely got an air compressor with a high locked rotor rating, at least with the info you’ve provided. Daryl Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Mac Lewis Sent: Wednesday, December 6, 2017 7:18 AM To: RE-wrenches Subject: [RE-wrenches] Breaker
