victor.silva <daejon1@...> added the photo album 2465x RIFA madness : RIFA Caps blowing up does occur, even on 120VAC.

From what I read elsewhere, the plastic encapsulation of the Rifa cap's over time shrinks and cracks, exposing the internal capacitor to external atmosphere.

Rgds.

I don't remember where it came from. The LVPS was repaired and works fine.
I had to replace a few other components damaged by the hot exhaust from the caps (see second picture for some of the collateral damage).
