Ian, If you have time/inclination, I'd be interested to see pics of your dissassembly/reassembly process.

I thought I'd start on the working filter and the repair the smoked unit when I know what I'm doing. I've burrowed inside the filter and was surprised to find the filter caps (WIMA MP3-E) are only rated for 250V. The MP3-E is a discontinued line (read: I can't find a datasheet). These might be ok for European 220V, but my UPS shows my line voltage to average 243V, with regular excursions over 250V. These caps may be good, but I'd like to see a bit more margin there (it'll be going back together with MP3-X2/275V caps). Robert, while it's not that I don't value my time, my workmanship is up to the task, and I'm reluctant to replace a component (possibly with one no better than the failed part) when I can fix it better than it was in the first place. ian _________________________________________________________________ Take a peek at other people's pay and perks Check out The Great Australian Pay Check http://clk.atdmt.com/NMN/go/157639755/direct/01/ _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
