Our team needs to use 10 motor controllers. Will we need to use two PDP's?

There are more than 10 slots on the PDP to plug motor controllers into.

That being said there are no rules against using two PDPs.

R36 would like to talk to you. It specifies that there is one main battery, one main breaker, and one PDP. Q531 backs that up.

Sorry, thanks for that.

If you have filled up your 40 amp slots already, you might have put a motor that should be on a smaller breaker on a 40 amp slot. The slots closer to the bottom of the PDP are for smaller breakers.

What types of motors are you using? How many CIMs do you have? Also can we have a picture of how everything is currently wired please?
