Re: Spike to CIM Motor
A spike cannot be used on a CIM as shown in the rule Joe pointed but more importantly, the relay in the Spike can only handle 20 amps. The stall current of a CIM is 129 amps. Stall current is drawn everytime the motor starts or is held in place while power is applied. That amount of current will cause catastrophic damage to the Spike. Like wise the rule applies to other motors as well. The FP has a stall current rating more than three times the rated current of the Spike.
