If I do not have enough horse power, won the circuit breakers trip and protect the circuit by preventing high amperage form damaging the items that the generator is operating?
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.
