Hi folks,

I need to drive eight brushless DC motors (on board a robot) and deliver a lot
of power to them (100-200W each). I also need to decide the wiring topology
(e.g. some sort of bus would be nice from a cable run point of view, while a
star seems better for other reasons).
Can you recommend a good reference text on motor drives or power electronics or
something like that? I feel like I understand the basic principles but not the
potential "gotchas" involved in cramming this much current through cables.

thanks
--Jim
