I picked up 3 x 3300uF from eBay at £20 all-in. Compared to the $186 _each_ from Mouser and the similar RS price I think I got a bargain. Now they have arrived, I think I see why they cost so much, They are huge. Bigger than the servo: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Uic01ES5_7svBiSm1Wp8gw?feat=directlink My initial idea was to put them in a project box, one for each drive. I am now thinking that it makes more sense to parallel them and use them as one big source for all drives. That also means only one set of discharge circuits, soft-starters etc. The project-box idea is out, that's for sure. These look like they will be chassis-mounted with copper bus-bars. I also think I might need to re-wire the workshop, at the moment it is powered through an RCD (GFI in US parlance?) which I can't see taking well to a capacitive load of this size. -- atp "Torque wrenches are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
