Location: Elk River, Minnesota		Hiya,

The best thing you can do is look at the maximum amperage the motor will pull at the highest speed on the motor you purchased. Then, buy a breaker that is just above that maximum amperage.

When setting up your breaker system, you want to have a breaker just above maximum so you can run full speed if need be, but trip if the motor draws anything more due prop stoppage, etc. This way, you will always protect your motor from frying.
