6 CIM's all working near full power? You'd trip the main 120A breaker in a few seconds.

Each CIM wouldn't be experiencing very heavy loads though. The stall current is 133 Amps, and the free current is 2.7 Amps.

While they wouldn't be at free current, they wouldn't be drawing massive amounts of current if they are powering a light-weight rotor, would they?
