Bob:
My ha'penny's worth:
What about increasing the voltage rating of the subject electrolytics? This
may be expensive, requiring costly capacitors. Something el cheapo: what
about a fuse on the input side of the cap?
Are the electrolytics by-passed with capacitors about 0.1 uF or less, with
short
Bob,
Could you let us know the power rating of the power supply and also the
topology of the power supply? I have not heard about such a failure as
shorting the regulator should not affect the primary DC cap? More
information would be helpful.
Thanks

A company I represent has a problem with their switching power supply.
A single point failure in the regulator can cause the output voltage to
rise higher than the voltage ratings of the electrolytic capacitors. As
a result, the capacitors are overstressed and fail in a variety of ways
depending
