Both motors should draw 16 A only if they are both at full torque and full 
speed simultaneouly. I suspect some of your troubles are due to trying to run 
high speed motors with 1 KHz commutation (for the 7I39 and > a few thousand 
RPM I would suggest a minimum of 4 KHz).

You can of course disable the fuses. The problem at that point is if you do 
manage to blow a MOSFET (or bypass capacitor), Instead of a fixable card you 
have a fire.
