A problem many have encountered in the RC electric plane world, where
controllers blow up at part throttle, not full (throttling being done
by chopping the supply) .Its critically linked to the leakage inductance
of the motors: low inductance (the best motors) will have massive peak
currents at part throttle.

In the model train world it's expensive coreless motors that brick if
the PWM frequency is too low.

Well... Back in the day I saw an engineer brick £159,000 of avionics
because he connected it to a lab PSU and applied 50Hz instead of 400Hz. The
bang was very impressive.
