As I said many times before, turn-on is not the problem. The Joules rating is only for turn-on.

What size is that thermistor on the 80amper?
SL321R030
1 ohm
30 A
160/270 Joules recommended/instantaneous actual failure
11, 114 uF at 120 VAC
(For the PD9280) That's fewer Joules than the 5R020 and much fewer than the 2R025.
I wonder what the point of using 30a is? Of course it is not the same design as my PowerMax 100amper, but even so I feel better about maybe using the 2R025s now without putting two in series to get 4R.
All very mysterious!
