Duncan, I think some people may have gotten 600amp working, but I'm not sure about 700amp. There's sort of a limit to what you can do with a single mosfet driver like the mic4451. You might be able to use some gigamos mosfets with the same gate charge as the regular ones.
Paul, was there a particular reason you used one mosfet driver instead of ten (apart from cost).
I have copied your power board using ten drivers and ten 130A 200V Mosfets and just had a spectacular blow up.
Also when your current sensor trips does it cut the motor drive and return as soon as the current drops or is there a delay or something? I think mine created a strong juddering effect just before blowing up.
