Just won a M1010

May 4th, 2010.

I kinda like the tan on the M1010, but then, I'm Prejudiced (See Icon annexed), and it IS cooler in the summer, ala Bagdad beach......

I bought a 135 amp breaker and a 80 amp breaker from ASE. They are the auto reset type.

From the install guide:

"2. Provide the appropriate circuit breaker or fuse protection. Fuses or
circuit breakers protect the wiring in the event of a short to ground and
should be sized approximately 25% above the maximum current
passing through the wire. See table below."

In the table, the 52210 calls for 125A on the 12V and 75A on the 24V. Based on available breakers, I decided to oversize slightly rather than undersize.

Kyle - I'm sticking with the tan as there is too much overspray on the mouldings to try and switch back to the 3 color. The tan is a bit unique although we're seeing an awful lot of it around Ft Sam due to the current theatre of operations.

Ian - with the 80amp equalizer I should be okay with a 100 and 75 c.b. I don't intend to put a full load on it but if I do that should still be within the suggested parameters. I'm thinking of going with a manual reset though. That way I'd know if there was an issue with them tripping.
