Interesting....so just for fun I connected that RS540 motor to a switch, then to the 12v (at 8 A) output of an old 200W computer switching power supply. I turned on the supply, and the motor jumped and started turning, and kept turning.

This motor is rated at 0.95 A no load current.

Would the current spike at startup of the Chalupa (CIM) motors be any less than 95 A if they were under control of a Victor, as in real life? (in the situation of no mechanical load)
