Electrical Question from Josh about Buffers That Trip Circuit Breakers

Dave’s Reply:
Thanks for your electrical question.
Hey Josh – I am totally familiar with this scenario. The first thing that comes to mind is installing a speed control switch on the buffers that is rated over the 12 amps that the motors draw. The problem is the initial starting amperage surge. Another possibility would be a Soft-Start device. This is such a common problem with buffers used that I am surprised that the manufacturers do not build in a soft start circuit.
