15 HP Motor Rebuild

[Washmee]

I checked the motors and they are both wired up perfect. Could it be that my 50A breaker is seeing more than that on startup and that is why the breaker is tripping?

Whats the running amperage draw on the motor ID plate? Your breaker should be at least double that amperage.

We took the breakers out and the motors run great! Sounds like a damn jet taking off. Max amperage draw is rated at 37A, so it must have been popping those 50A when they were starting under load.

Thanks for all the help guys, now go and check out my other post to see what I should do!
