I have a 220v 30 amp circuit that I can plug the control box into. I use this circuit for the welders and the mill but I cannot use any of them at the same time. My question/thinking is that it probably not good to have 30 amps on the machine with out some sort of protection. Especially to the router. So I was wondering if something like this will work out. I read Gerald that you dont like fuses in the box but would this be ok in your mind for my situation. Its a circuit breaker that is din mountable. I would have to say its comparable in price to other circuit breakers here in the Big Box stores and it would be cheaper then running a new 20 or 15 amp circuit.

They also have a 1 amp. I was thinking a Class D curve for the router and Class B Curve for the Estop Circuit.
