and please explain the guage of wire connected to the starter and the reason booster cables are so thick, and also why the starter circuit on many vehicles is not fused
and btw a starter will use more amps with a higher load, so spinning a cold engine will have a higher current draw than spinning a warm one, and even less if you connect one and have it sipnning in free air

breakers are slow-blow so 1-3 seconds at 150% rated load should not trip

bas numbers are for testing starterss on vehichle
and voltage is at 12v, a lower charger batt even 11v will take more
4cyl=150*-185
6cyl=160-200
8cyl=185-250amps at 12v
voltage matters by
good bat 11v during cranking=180a =2090w
weak batt 9.8v=213a = 2090w
so ya the starter amp draw can be up there
