Garry's MMC - Further Testing

Hi All,

Today I ran 1 amp at 350kHz though each of the caps on the main MMC board.
10 of the 37 caps showed sever heating on only one side.  11 of them have
vastly reduced capacitance to around 0.025uF in most cases. 

The caps all seem to have been run far beyond what they could stand.  It
was not a matter of just a few bad ones or lead bending.  All of the caps
were probably damage to some extent and they would have all died with just
a little more use.

We are still digging into data sheets, but there is a chance these caps
were a lower power type.

Cheers,

	Terry
