Since I’m the one who started this thread, I think it is incumbent upon me to
let the collective masses know how I am proceeding…
To date, I have added additional filter caps (0.1 µf disc caps) to the SCR
(GATE to GND) and across the output of the supply. I have already affixed
ferrites to
. Seems to be happy to sit that way, but of
course you don't get any output voltage.

Clip the purple wire going to the crowbar.
The crowbar in the Astron is one of the most messed up deals ever.
Astron also makes and auto reset kit for the crowbar.
Or better yet, go find a Mastr II 35 amp supply and be done with it.

do so... and will post my results!

supplies. Unfortunately, searching hasn't revealed what I am looking for,
so I pose my query here and apologize in advance if this was a subject that

I've had DMMs also go nuts at my site too. Luckily the Astron supply hasn't had
that problem yet.
The fuse usually blows when something catastrophic happens. One such thing is
when the output voltage goes too high and the built
