Re: Jaguar Meltdown

This is the destruct problem with conductive debris. Remember that the full power supply is available on the FETs when the power is turned on. If a chip should contact the Source and Drain pins on one FET 12 volts will cause full current to flow limited only by the action of the breaker feeding the controlller.
