Oh, yes if the contactor was making intermittent contact, during the times it was not making contact, the pwm would ramp up to 100% trying to force the current feedback to match the throttle position (50% of throttle forces 50% of max current feedback with the PI control loop). Then, with the duty at 100%, if the contactor suddenly made good contact again, BOOM. Dead short circuit for a moment. That would definitely trip the desat or the overcurrent fault.
