My original igbt design use 2 x 1500uf 450v and 2 x 4700uf 450v caps. They don't even warm up. Driving for over a year. My motorcycle controller uses 2 x 6800uf 250v and my new liquid cooled design 3 x 4700uf 400v. My theory being that its a pain to deal with lots of little pcb mount caps and its really a game of swings and roundabouts. I also used 1uf 400v film caps. one across each of the big boys.
