Salvo, I will look at the one that I have the top off that had the problem and see what's to see. Not taking my new one apart! I notice here, they say in-rush is 40a.

I know they use "smaller" thermistors for their lower amp converters, but I don't know what caps they each have for various amps size of converter. ISTR the guy said the 100amper started with a "15a" thermistor but would be upgraded to a "20a" like the one he sent me to try, but I may not have that right. There was a code on the thermistor and I found more on them from that code on the internet somewhere. Not sure if I still have that info.
Will report back later.
