Thanks for the teardown. More complex than I thought it would be, or at least more miles of wire. And it's always nice to see a RIFA cap. My industry, railway signaling systems, used a lot them in the 70s and 80s. Never had a problem, but guess the rest of the world ended up hating them.

The PCB layout seems very sub optimal So many wires.

That was very interesting, have never seen one this big! A little scary that all of the electronics are mains referenced, I expected them to use some kind of isolated inverter.

Thanks. We'll take a look at some even bigger ones at some point :-)
