Hi Power factor correction? Hum suppression?
If its the type in a small squarish soldered up can. Then open can and remove oil and paper. Replace with modern type Close up can and re-solder Put it back where it came from. Rod On 19/11/15 10:20, Brian Walenz wrote:
Having read all sorts of bad things about these older oil filled capacitors, I decided to replace the one on my 8a. I got what I think is a replacement - 6 microF, 660VAC, 50/60Hz, "NO PCB's" - but it is physically about 1/3 the size as the original. Did the tech for these get that much better? What purpose does this serve? It's hanging off the transformer. I see lots of links about motor start capacitors, but nothing relating to transformers. http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Cornell-Dubilier/SFA66S6K288B-F Thanks, b
