Re: Main breaker tripping, dead CIM

We are using 6cims in our Vexpro single speed, single reduction gearboxes. First time using 6 drive CIMs, and we will never go back. We havent had any problems yet, and we push all the time (and 95% win). I asked our electrical lead and she did notify me that at a few points the wires around the main breaker warmed up. We have never tripped the main breaker though even after 4 quarterfinal matches in Groton with very little break time. We have no software assistance either. Reading this thread worries me though.

Should we mount a large cooling fan above it just like we do for our compressor?
