Interested in your findings on the newer style.

Thanks oz. The explanation works for me and is now driving me to move to the EG design.

I have had some issues develop with the new PJ. After about 3 days the power started to blip (brown out) every 18-20 mins.

Turns out they run a beefy 12V fan off the pj board and the load is pulling the 12V and 5V rails to almost 0 instantaneously. This results in the "talking inverter"
to say "70% load remind"....

So to fix this, I cut out the 12V fan and fitted a 230V fan with a 45C thermostat on the transformer.

The Other two fans are 48V and run off a JUC-31F 45C thermostat fitted to one of the slow switch heatsinks on the mos board.

Here is a video I uploaded of the fault.

12V fan dips board voltage causing brownout

Another issue. MOS Board flicker

Not keen on the flicker at all...... looks like a fundamental problem in there somewhere on the 48v supply rails.... no idea how they have done it, as I don't know that style at all.

After bypassing the 12V fan the new PJ seems stable. The flickers are gone.

Still....too right oztules. I want to move to EG8010 boards.....
