Although the GDC has ruled that it is OK to return your motor wiring to the ATA block, I still recommend that high current returns be terminated on the Rockwell. block. Remember that the block can accept 2 #10 or #12 wires per terminal.
Don't forget that unused sections of the block may be removed for a weight/space savings.
What problems might a team face if they do connect the ground returns to the ATC panel?
In other words, is it just considered "good practice" or are there some real safety concerns with doing it?
