Good review, as always.
On page 4 -> 2x 150microFarads =NOT 450 microFarads.

You missed that there are 3 caps, not 2:

Quote:
The active PFC circuit uses three Japanese capacitors from Toshin Kogyo (TK) labeled at 85º C connected in parallel. When capacitors are connected in parallel their capacitances are added. This is a very common trick to achieve a higher capacitance without using a capacitor that is physically bigger and would not fit the form factor proposed by the manufacturer. Since each cap has a capacitance of 150 µF together they are equivalent to a bigger 450 µF cap.
