Jerry, I put in a BLDC blower motor that we make at my current employer, Ametek. This blower ran off the 13.8Vdc Vicor converter. This blower puts out more ...

Jim and Rod, Thanks for the quick replies! I think I'll take you up on your offer Rod, nt because it's free, but it sounds like I'll get better cooling. I'll...

All of the capacitors I measured were 1500 uF +/- 10uF and had an ESR of 20 milliohms, which sounds correct for this size capacitor. Let me know if you want...
