The engineer that did the control board layout for me asked me to add that feature (more or less) to his software. I think it's a really good idea. Why control the main contactor if you aren't going to take full advantage of controlling the main contactor!? This might be more useful in the IGBT case, because the little puny mosfet source legs get blasted off to kingdom come when the mosfets get shorted (like a very very very expensive fuse).
