Überstationmeister posted:Under normal use, the electronic breaker circuitry intervenes when 180W at 10A continuous is exceeded at any voltage, although brief excursions up to 12A are possible (red light will flash). The physical 12A thermal breaker is a last resort safety that is virtually impossible to trip unless operated near 9.9A for a prolonged period.
*Note that any attempt to cross-connect the throttles also results in an overload indication and may trip the physical breakers as well.
Ok, but 180 watts at 10 amps is 18 volts. Really, this is just math. The handle sets the volts. Amps increase based on load. If there is an overload or short, the amps will exceed 10 amps until circuitry, breakers or failure intervenes.
