Drew,
Señor, the caps after the full wave bridge rectifier in a switched power supply (MeanWell Megawatt) are the ones most sensitive to ESR variance? Dammit, old age forced me to forget the handle of the converter expert on this forum. I'd sure like his input as well! (that's an exclamation point).
PANASONIC offers some excellent 10,000 hour low ESR caps (not inexpensive). Lessening of capacitor life in relation to temperature is not linear. Is there a general rule or curve that can be used with regard to higher voltage electrolytic's?
