Not enough info for me to weigh in with any kind of certainty. I do know from personal experience that if you use solid state switches to control motor operation by applying a pulse train (PWM) rather than continuous voltage control that will generate big spikes as the inductance of the motor opposes the current change inherent in the pulse rise-time. This is mitigated by slowing the rise-times sufficiently that the L di/dt product is manageable.
