    Ohhh.. ...sounds nasty. I would imagine they implement some automated security control to avoid such mishaps. Cheers

    Great update.  Those capacitors are scary things.  I was working on an inverter system, with some of those larger capacitors (750VDC), when one exploded and shot out of the cabinet with a trail of smoke and flames, just passing 6-8 inches from my head.  Not a good day.
