Thanks! Yes, I have seen this as well. I am not sure it is a capacitor as with more testing you will likely find the voltage drops under load, as soon as you connect the power supply to a pump the voltage drops to nearly zero which leads me to believe it is something more involved like a safety feature (overload) responding inappropriately.
