Hey,

I'm a student going into electrical in BC, Canada.The mill I'm at has me looking at a problem. The situation is that when a log goes into the canter, and it gets jammed, the breaker trips and the PLC goes too. At the moment I do not have much information on anything else.

I was wondering that since the machine is getting jammed up, it draws more current, which causes the breaker to trip from this increase.
