Re: CIM motor + Electrical outlet = ?

This means the power supply you choose to run the CIM motor must be capable of sinking at least 1596 Watts of output power. Buying a 120VAC->12VDC power supply capable of outputting at least 1596W will put a several hundred dollar dent into your wallet.

Can't you put an circuit breaker in between the DC converter and the CIM?
