Paul,
I was looking over the BOM for the power section. It lists 10 diodes. When I clicked on the diode's link to Digikey, I saw 30A listed as the diode's rating. 30A * 10 equals only 300A. Are those really the diodes you're using, or is there something about the ratings that I'm not understanding?

Thanks.

Bill
