Matt, thanks for pointing out the things I wasnt sure of... Sometimes I know just enough to be dangerous! Spectacular failure and smoldering blocks of charcol, now you are starting to scare me! Could happen but minor in comparison to the things I have seen as far as failures go.
I have worked with gen sets up to 2000kw and diesel electric haul trucks capable of payloads in excess of 340tons (do the math on how many fully loaded semi's you would have to pile in the back of one of these to fully load it) How many electrons it takes to move that load up grades greater than you have ever seen on a highway. The braking it takes to stop it from 55mph. I spent several weeks helping to make one fully autonomus, if you want to talk about serious potential for costly damage.
