These power supplies are power-factor corrected. I will check with engineering if such components are damaged.

As you describe the damage, the PFC circuit would be in that area, so it is involved.

The large line filters are internal to our instruments so yes, they are always in the circuit ahead of all AC within the instrument.

I suspect that something is causing the stored energy in the filter to be dumped into the PFC circuit. This may be due to the PFC circuit itself. I was marginally involved in a discussion of stability issues in PFC circuits, but it was highly mathematical so I didn't learn much.
