It's likely your output capacitors. I'm guessing that they are rated at 159k mF instead of the preferred 178k mF.
A fuller explanation:
The energy (measured in joules) stored in a capacitor is equal to the work done to charge it. Consider a capacitance C, holding a charge +q on one plate and -q on the other. Moving a small element of charge dq from one plate to the other against the potential difference V = q/C requires the work dW:
where
W is the work measured in joules
q is the charge measured in coulombs
C is the capacitance, measured in farads
We can find the energy stored in a capacitance by integrating this equation. Starting with an uncharged capacitance (q=0) and moving charge from one plate to the other until the plates have charge +Q and -Q requires the work W:
W is the energy measured in joules
C is the capacitance, measured in farads
V is the voltage measured in volts
OK. I honestly have no idea what I'm talking about. I just always wanted to enter a room like that.
