You're brave, holding a class 1 appliances (chasis grounded) while switching it on! Given the information that it trips out the mains and there could be a neutral earth fault!!
Looks similar to Powersoft. A 3kw Powersoft i was working on would not power up via the 100W lightbulb. Sometimes the air filter becomes blocked causing more heat that should be then caps can fail causing other issues. I would check the caps in the switching circuit. If there is a problem there it could be causing the fets to fail.
It looks like that rectangular "thing" on the bottom of that "Power101A" has cracked resin around it (at least on the long sides), is that right? Cracking would have come from heat or "terminally rapid deconstruction" if that's correct. And that "blob" on it looks sus too.
Well assuming the fault is in one of the modules then I guess they would. Of course other components in the amplifier may be at fault and could be replaced.
Tolle Erklärung hat mir sehr geholfen
It's 4:00 am where I am Rich, great video, Paul, USA
Three Thousand and Six Hundred Watts ! that's a beast.....cheers.

Not quite as brave as you think as my workbench mains socket for the device under test is supplied via a 2KVA isolation transformer 😉
Get Carlos and the dremel, with a disk cutter on, and get that black module opened up 👹.
Think those large bulk caps V+ and V- rails was 147V (at least on the schematic anyway)

Knowing how to work powersoft units is a worthwhile skill!
Heya, 3,6K that's a lot

The distressed box/module, is on the wrong “foot”ing.
so when the supplys of the moduls dries up these amps become unrepairable.
