Re: breaker size
Funny how many people don't understand the word "maximum."

I was at an evening H.I. meeting a couple of years ago. The HVAC company doing the presentation said that they frequently drop in breakers larger than the data plate listing and saw no problem with doing so. Then someone asked what happens to the compressor's warranty. The tech's response was that it would probably be voided. No duh! Least he was smart enough to realize that.
