That is why we both told him MAX draw, not average draw, for the fuse.

You said max load.  Then you said average draw most of the time.

I'm talking about initial current rush.  There is a difference. 

For example, if you have 8 cabs on one circuit breaker.  If you turn them all on at once, the circuit breaker trips.  If you power them all on individually, the breaker does not trip. 
ChadTower:

Initial draw <= max draw

Always.

It could be that initial draw actually IS max draw, but it may not be max draw.

Chad - I'd argue, but I'm afraid it would be fact vs. opinion which would never end. 


RayB - Look at it this way, you now have an optipac for future expansion.
