Would these caps be safe to use in an amp PS? Samsung 120 mfd at 450 volt 105c Would this # EIAJD0160 reveal the date code? Or best not to mess with anything below 500v? The Clipperton L manual says
Just put an additional 450 volt capacitor in series to increase the safety factor. Glen, K9STH Website: http://k9sth.net From: "qrv@kd4e.com" <qrv@kd4e.com> To: "amps@contesting.com" <amps@contesting

Or, if it a voltage doubler circuit, two more caps. Gerald K5GW In a message dated 5/11/2015 10:39:27 A.M. Central Daylight Time, amps@contesting.com writes: Just put an additional 450 volt capacitor
OK, sounds good. I'm still trying to sort the alphanumeric label EIAJD0160: EIA = military contract? J = ?? D = ?? 01 = 2001? 60 = ?? If 2001 they are already 14 years old - perhaps not a good choice
Hi If they are old make an EXT. circuit with soft start to test each, e.g a diode with 100 kOhm in series. Use a DMM to measure time /voltage and calculate capacitance. 230 VAC to a diode gives app.
You worry too much. Just put'em in, turn'em on and wait. You'll soon know for sure, if they are any good. In other words, 95% of the population would simply use them without a second thought. I'm wit
