Another question

Paul,

I do not wish to distract you from making progress on this fantastic project, but if you have time, I have another question.

If, per chance, I was thinking of using 156 Volts or even 192 volts and maybe thinking of drawing 1000 watts instead of 500-600 as this design can handle, would this simply (yes, I know, it is never simple) mean that there would be changes in the components of the high power module only? With perhaps, changes of software settings too?

If this becomes a nice 'black box' module system with software configurable low power module and plug-in high power module, then this could meet controller requirements from scooter to dragster.

Anyway, since I was thinking 156+volts and pushing 600+ amps, what changes would be necessary in order to guard against pushing the envelope like I am thinking of doing and not creating that dreaded magic smoke?

Thanks again.
Eric and the dogs
