I decided to try to estimate peak voltage in my circuit, by connecting
a 2 uF capacitor in series with a diode to my DC bus. The hope was
that the capacitor would be only charged and never discharged.
I removed varistors from the system.
I ran my bridge for a little while and took DC voltage readings across
the cap.
My estimate of peak voltage in the DC rail at 150 amps was 240-300V. I
was getting 240V most of the time, but once got 300.
My question is, just how much can I trust this number.
