The 200A means that particular circuit is current limited to 200A. It doesn't mean that 200A is constantly being drawn from that circuit. It means that up to 200A can be drawn from that circuit. It would be interesting to know what that 200A circuit goes to so that we'd know exactly how much current gets pulled and why. I doubt though, that even under WOT on a track that 200A is being pulled from that circuit. I also doubt that anybody would have a sound system with a sub pounding at max 60A draw at the same time.
Make better sense?
