Got the wiring all figured out on my 300A (I Think)
Fired it up and it popped the 1000uF 50 V Cap i installed on the high voltage board.
Sounded like a 12 gauge shot gun going off, Smoke and pieces of the blown up cap all over the place. Installed another cap and ran it a while and noticed the cap getting hot so i shut it down.
The original cap was a 1000uF 25V and i bumped the voltage to 50V and left the 1000uF the same. Here's the cap i bought for it.

I wonder if i got a bad set of cap's, wrong brand or speck?
