Replace 3 components to increase the power delivered
You’ll now replace 3 components on the PSUG to increase the maximum power that it
can deliver. We can do this because the Really Big Heat Sink is so much better at getting
rid of heat. You’ll remove the old components and install the new ones.
Be sure that the negative end of the new C3 installs away from the plus sign indicated on
the silk screen as it is now a polarized capacitor.
