Glad you have restored it to operation, though it sounds like a bit of a beast, perhaps, given they could not draw a bridge rectifier correctly, the maker's datasheet was muddied with figures for a larger model. Thinking in terms of not cooking things, what stops the DC flowing when it is all stationary and no longer needed ?
