[ARC5] 28 volt high-current supplies?

[Charles]

I am sure I would have no trouble starting a DY-17 with a 33 amp full 
load rating. This beast is 3.5 times that full load draw and 
consequently any surge current would likely also be 3.5 times that...

Anyway I am going to investigate shorts on the AC side, and my prime 
suspect is the (noise reduction?) capacitor on A phase. Hope it's not 
the armature. It does have a repair request tag from the 80's or 90's 
(don't remember at moment) and an unreadable "Serviceable" tag. The 
electromechanical regulator (carbon piles!) will get a look after I 
check the cap. Something else I have no experience with.
