Re: CIM Motor Strength
I don't think I would leave two points up to whether a breaker trips or not because you are drawing too much current. I would much rather gear it down so the cim draws less than 40 amps because everything you stated is what is SUPPOSED to happen, don't forget murphy's law. The one time it doesn't work the way you thought it would is in the final match when the other team is ahead by one point.
