Re: PWM translates to movement?

If an H bridge was designed to supply 40amps continous and a motor shorted out from a power supply that could only provide maximum 20 amps, would that damage the H Bridge? I know from experiment that if the power supply exceeded the continous current rating, smoke could be release, or even exploding FETs.
