I was under the impression that your house breaker is only supposed to
protect the house wiring, not the device? Doesn't Grizzly have any
overload protection? Mark L.

Grizzly states the following in the manual for their G1029Z Dust Collector:
Circuit Breaker: The 2 H.P. motor will draw roughly 12 amps @ 220V. We
recommend using a 20 amp circuit breaker. Circuit breakers rated higher will
not adequately protect the motor.

I suppose this is true with any 220 amp motor.
