Sod,

You can give the motor more than 40A. The Victors (PWM control) regulate the voltage to the motor. The current is a factor of the voltage provided and the mechanical load on the FP.

I would start by reading some of the presentations on motors in the white papers section of this forum (anything written by Joe Johnson is great).

Next, I would search these forums on how a circuit breaker works and how you can deliver more than 40A to a motor.
