Now here is something to think about.

You have just provided 80 amps of power to a wire intended to carry 50 amps (REF: AWG chart). Now picture that wire if it shots to the frame near the pump motor. Now look at the filament it a light bulb and dream a little.

The specifications on the pump motor are 100 amps “locked rotor” (REF: Parker specification sheet) this is a failed motor not an operational motor. The operating amp for the pressures used in the slide system is 40 to 45 amps (I can’t find my Parker spec sheet but going by memory it is either 40 or 45).

After replacing the 30 amp inline fuse that was installed in my pump wire by the factory with a 50 amp breaker three years ago I haven’t experienced an electrical problem with the slides since. I run the pump to hydraulic presser relief every time I run it and have yet to have the breaker trip.

I would suggest putting a good 50 amp breaker in rather than take a chance of setting the trailer on fire.
