Thanks Mark, I was going with the assumption of both being equal value but we all know what it is to assume. So thanks for pointing that out..."joe" ================================= [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED](Mark�Wentowski) Date: Wed, Jun 30, 2004, 7:00pm (EDT-1) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ELECTRONICS PROFESSIONALS LIST) Subject: RE: [Techs] electrolytic caps paralleled = x2mfd or divide by 2mfd Reply�to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ELECTRONICS PROFESSIONALS LIST) Pardon me for butting in but electrolytics in parallel can simply be added together and the voltage rating is that of the lowest rated cap. For instance: A 100ufd/50 volt cap in parallel with a 47ufd/16 volt cap will give you 147ufd. But the voltage rating is limited to 16 volts. But if both caps are rated at the same voltage (such as 50V) then the voltage will remain at 50V and you simply add the two ufd values together to get the ufd rating.
