Re: Back driving a CIM

Relating to the op's question, would disabling 1 motor in a 3 cim gearbox and continuing to power the other 2 cause any damage to either the speed controller on the unpowered cim, or the unpowered cim itself? An example of a practical application for this would be in a 6 cim drive, if the current draw exceeds a certain amount, disable one motor on both gearboxes to lower the overall current draw.
