I have a powersupply which have been stored for 15 years.
Now I want to use it. But I think the high volt(500 V) capacitors
need to be refreshed (right word?). (To slowly increase the voltage.)

Questions are for ex.: how fast, how long time at each level.
Cant find any info on the net or in the handbook.
Is there any info on the net ? Or here ?

Wish I could remember where, but there was something within the last 6 mo
where it talked about monitoring the CURRENT. I would think that HOT caps
are a BAD thing and should be avoided. My guess is that t15 years isn't
long, but better safe...
