Re: Could a magnetic field around CIMs cause fuses to blow?
One theory that we had was that the start current was above the 40A and caused one moter to go, and that forced the other moter to start two moters worth, and that caused it's fuse to go, but it doesn't explain what happened when we isolated the offending victors electronically. And it doesn't happen on both sides. I don't think, I wasn't around for it all.

If they want us to think outside of the box, why do they make us fit in a 38x28x60 inch box?
