I say just keep cutting the legs off the mosfets one at a time until you get large resistance from M- to B-. If you have to remove 5 of them, that still leaves 250amp at 125v of maximum power for a test. Just be careful with the DC throttle. If you cut out half of them, only push the DC throttle to no more than 50% of full throttle. full throttle will still try to command 500amp.
Oh JEEze!
Perhaps I need to get mine going while someone is around with some real courage like that.!
