Thus you need an ~170VDC source to equal the rectified 120VAC voltage.
202VDC would be too much and most likely blow something
I agree. I've reverse-engineered some of the Iota DLS-supplies, and all
of them had a simple bridge rectifier that feeds 200vdc rated filter
capacitors.
I have modified these supplies for higher-voltage DC operation, but it's
a lot of work. There are quite a few parts to change. In the end, I
don't think it was worth the trouble.
But if you're determined to proceed, I think the modifications were
written up and are in the EVDL "files" section somewhere.
