Quark fried, blown capacitor...

Oh, are you talking about it possibly shorting out on the motor leads? If so, I'm going to go ahead and put a piece of shrink wrap on it. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I hadn't even thought about it.

That looks stellar man, I love what you are doing with these cap banks! I should have got you to make me one when you shipped it out. :027:

If I can't find anything to make a solid bank like that, I might just use shrink wrap, with that many caps, they shouldn't get hot.

IMO, I don't think that fan is doing anything on there, it might be better if you take it off and let air flow cool it, it might just be hindering it?

Anyways, I was looking at my burnt quark, and confirmed that the leads on the caps were vaporized.... some how? Check it out, I don't know if you can see it or not very well.

Looks almost like both caps developed an internal short. :032:
