 		Obeying incompetent sign writers isn't easy.

I popped a timer with my boost converter once too, accidentally had my multimeter set to current when I decided to measure the bank voltage.

 		~900J through IGBT. After, more than half of bank energy was left.

 		This is a capacitor I blew up, and the resulting damage to the case I had enlosing it. At the time it blew up, voltage was 4000V with the bank having a storage of 360uF, 2880 Joules.

I decided to not risk wrecking the rest of the case from another cap exploding, I was lucky it was only the end piece of plastic, a few hrs and some plastic and it should fix up fine. Instead, I ordered the real deal from general atomics energy products (once maxwel I believe). A big pulse cap, 11kv at 525 uF, 125,000 amp rating. It just came into Australia this week after patiently waiting for the last 14 or so weeks for it to be made, should have it on my doorstep in this comming week. 100 kg of capacitor, very excited cheesey.

Just curious, How much was it? General Atomics is right next door from where I work. I was thinking of getting a few things from them but everything looks so expensive so I never got any quotes.
