Re: Using CIMs at 30 amps?
I would suggest rethinking the type and number of motors that you need for each application.

Now, to answer your specific question:
You can put any of those motors on a breaker up to 40 amps. Anything lower than that is acceptable. This means you can put a 30 amp breaker on a CIM motor. You may have a problem with tripping the breaker though.

Based on R46 in the manual.
