Forum Post: RE: PFC Choke getting hot

Hi Lisa,

I increased the load to2.5A , within 15 min, PFC choke went upto 75c and its increasing further.

Here are some more info,

My first board PFC capacitor got burnt. I didnt check for the PFC choke temp at that time.Can this be because of the failure of PFC choke?

I have got the GCI choke, but with an alternate core. GCI told , the specs matches exactly as the older one.

Thanks,

Sudha
