    Converters keep dying

    The OP has an issue with the incoming 50 amp (120 FEED) .. that is the ONLY THING that would cause 3 converters in a row.. WFCO should last for decades as well as the Progressiive Dynamics unit.. With popped CAPS on that is the KEY INDICATOR of incoming overvoltage .. period
