I was give 12 radial 450 vdc 220uf capacitors and was wondering if they were ok to use in a HV power supply. What would I gain if I spent the extra money for the computer grade? Are the radial types
I'd suggest using the Duncan PSU designer prog. to model your PSU and get a figure for the rms (=heating) current in the caps. Then use a low voltage transformer and variac to get that much current t

To: <amps@contesting.com> a how Whether they're so-called "computer grade" or not probably isn't the issue... its the ripple current rating and temprature rating that are important, as Steve implies.
For an inductive input filter the RMS ripple current is equal to the output current if you have a single phase supply. For a capacitive input filter the max ripple current will be equal to the square

I haven't checked that example, but one "gotcha" in the Duncan program is that the default results in the tables include the power-on cycles where current can be very high. The solution is to set the

I was alerted by some totally screwy results in another area. Seems right to me. -- 73 from Ian G3SEK 'In Practice' columnist for RadCom (RSGB) Editor, 'The VHF/UHF DX Book' http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/
