Maybe the fan was not working at the time? Those things can heat up pretty fast, and with no fan and a current draw of above 100 amps for a second can easily fry the thing. The only factors are how long the fan wasn't running while on, and how much current you were drawing before the gearbox locking up. Only problem is that if the fan was working as usual, there could be a deeper, nastier problem somewhere. The Victors shouldn't fry that easily.
