Re: Main breaker tripping, dead CIM

A tripped breaker cost us the Waterford district. As was said above once it's tripped trash it.

Heat is a huge factor as can be seen in the spec sheet, if it starts the match hot you're in trouble. We run fans on ours between matches. We've now implemented some type of monitoring with our drive wheel encoder counts to limit our current draw, not exactly sure what the details were, I'll see if I can get someone who knows more about it to post. I think it basically says, if you're stalling either downshift or reduce power to motor.
