Yes. We had 6 CIM's for our drive train, and in our first event of the year (Hatboro Horsham), we got into a few pushing matches and popped our main breaker more than twice. When all of our CIM's stalled, they pulled about 780-800 amps for more than a few seconds, which is definitely enough to trip the main breaker.
