How you can fry your peltier power supply:
Turning it on and then connecting peltier, then boom!
As you can see, both transistors are blown, while it may not look that bad, you can see taht the left leg on the left transistor has completely vaporized. And there is a chunk of the transistor sitting under the heatsink. Btw 300 volts was running through these transistors (that is how it is designed to work). What does that mean? Lets just say, the fireworks were amusing, and why sparks that crossed the room did so little damage boggles me. . .
