I was only drawing an arc for a second or two, and one electrician I
spoke with (my brother-in-law) said that depending on the type of
breakers you have, they could take up to a few seconds to trip, even
with that kind of current draw. I recently got a current transformer that
I'm going to use to re-check this value, but I haven't had the chance to
yet.

He was using a bunch of microwave oven transformer secondaries in
series on the high-voltage side of things as inductors to limit the
current.
