Please keep us posted on this. I shipped my units back surface mail a
week ago so it will be about another 5 or so before the factory gets
them. It is probable that only one will show signs of defects but I
have specified that they test them at full rated voltage, 120 PPS into
a 10uH inductance for at least 3 runs of 2 minutes per run. I also
asked them to run even more rigorous tests if they have such
procedures. I'll be very surprised if such testing doesn't show any
weaknesses up.
In the end, pragmatism prevailed. I had to send them back or risk
losing a huge amount of money.
