| Stunning 3000A, 2000A, 3000T power supply discovery - MUST READ IF YOU HAVE ONE |

Rework done. Installed the ESCOS-TDK B43644B5107M000 capacitor and Bournes 75K CRM2512-FX-7502ELF resistors. PCB was a little toasted under the original 22K resistors, the glue that held the parts on was very crispy and burnt. Good for another 10 years I hope. |
| EE-digger:
Looks good and the 75k resistors will keep it comfortable for a long time. My new Murata is hissing at me so the cleaned up original may go back into the scope. |

Seems an unusual SMPS design needing bleed resistors on the HV DC cap. :-// Normal modern SMPS design has the controller remain working until the HV DC cap gets discharged to low and safe levels. |

I guess the design is minimum 15 + years old but even then it is pretty weak. |

I have a second Murata coming in at noon. If it is quiet, it's going in and the cleaned up original goes on the shelf until I need to use my service agreement. Then the old supply goes back in, etc. ;) And Steve, you can't say these supplies haven't been burned in :) |
