Re: Did I read <R32> Correctly? Six CIMs?

For Al (and all you electrician magician), does appying the same torque to two CIMs or three CIMs draw more current? Although three CIMs would distribute the current over more breakers, I suspect they would draw more current over all. If teams are going to be traction limited in low gear anyway, is it worth it to go with three CIMs in the drive?
