Knowing a little about how the power converter works, I'm having a hard time imagining how any combination of wiring errors could result in 52 volts on it somewhere.

And how does the Digital Sidecar enter into this? It shouldn't have a connection to the power converter at all.
If you connect the 12 volt line to the output the input will put out ~50 volts.
