When it died, I would shut it off quickly (within 10 seconds). If I would
turn it back on right away, it wouldn't work, but if I'd let it sit for a
minute it would work again for a few seconds and then quit. I was really
working my caps hard. I had halved the total number of caps in series to
double the capacitance. I went from 60kvdc to 30kvdc rating and it heated up
quickly.
