We're considering going to ~16 calculated high and ~7-9 calculated low next year to avoid blowing the breaker.
Main breaker blows can be easily avoided by implementing a "crash detection" current-sense code. Use a current sensor to check if it is a spike. If the current spikes for too long, you shift to low gear or put the CIMs in brake mode.
If you are using a shifter, I think going 18-20 fps is not all bad, as long as your driver can control it.
