Re: victor 885 parts
Forget what I said about the firmware chip. I was thinking of another system and confused myself.
There is more to blowing up FETs than their individual ratings. Put too powerful a FET in as a replacement and the rest of the Victor won't be able to handle it.
I agree with Al's comment that the 885's are a different beast. They handle higher power because they are designed for it with features other than "bigger" FETs.
Usually, the FETs short when metal shavings or particles fall into them. Bigger FETs might just release more magic smoke.
