All of the circuit breakers ar thermal types which can hold up to 25% overload. These circuit breakers can take a while to heat up before tripping to protect a circuit. During the time the circuit breakers is heating up, the high amperage is potentially causing damage to the items the generator is operating. If there is a dead short circuit, the circuit breakers will immediately trip.
