Default Re: Weir HSS100/4 PSU blowup

Might be able to find the genuine one somewhere - I'd only originally being looking for the incorrect one - although this one was from a less common manufacturer who may not be doing these anymore. And if the prefix letters are just for that manufacturer, it does seem that other prefixed 5N06 ones should be rather similar.

If it is just being used as a switch, they it shouldn't be anywhere near as critical as a chopper switching one might be. And I'm wondering if it can be just temporarily shorted out, to ensure the rest of the circuitry works / fault-find on that (it was a bit suspicious, that it sounded wrong and blew after 30s)
