FIRE PUMP DISCONNECT

Thanks Jim
Based on your comments last sentence, assuming the rotor does NOT break free and the table from "augie47" about tranny overload, is it then a race between the motor and tranny destruction to see which clears the circuit first ?

That's the way I see it. Bring your own popcorn.

Kind of.
After the motor windings begin to fail it is likely that a short circuit occurs somewhere. A fire pump supply OCPD is not required to carry any short circuit at all.
