Re: Why Can We Not Use CIM motors with Relays? (R52)

The spike relays are not capable of the current that a CIM motor draws. A fuse is mandated to prevent permanent damage to the Spike Relay. The CIM will blow this fuse very quickly, and bypassing/disabling the fusing mechanism will cause some other element of the Spike to become a fuse by releasing smoke.
