Re: Caution - Burned out CIM blows Victor

Wait, let me be sure we're all clear on this. Your drive motors were CIMs on Victors with, I assume, 40 amp breakers? Did they start out as good CIMs, and end up as toasted CIMs from practice driving and THEN you blew up 3 Vics? Or do you think the CIM was toast before you started driving, and you finally pushed it over the edge?

Inquiring minds would like to know because even long term driving practice shouldn't be about to toast CIMs like that unless you're constantly blowing breakers. If it IS possible, then 20 or 30 amp breakers might be a good idea for practice driving.
