I have a 60v, 400watt SMPS that has a filter capacitor in it that runs very hot (imo)
X2 CLASS (IEC 60384-14) - MKP Series METALLIZED POLYPROPYLENE FILM CAPACITOR
It is rated to 85C and endurance tested to 110C but I measure 88C even with the cover off during light to moderate use (240watt draw)
So it routinely exceeds the nominal maximum operating temperature according to the datasheet.
I would like very much to add a 40 x 40mm fan to the case to blow directly on that device to prolong it's life.
Problem is, the only way I can find to do it is to purchase a buck converter and I really didn't want to have to do that (although I realize it might be the only way).
Anyone know of a simple and effective way to tap 24v out of a 60v SMPS ?
Thanks
