Re: CIM Motors in a non-FRC environment
A high-end current generation ATX12V v2.3 PSU can supply 60A. This MIGHT be a viable solution, IF it can handle the stall current without smoking. Most PSUs can only provide about 20A on the 12V rails. Again, IF they can handle the spikes from motor start-up, they might be workable.
