Howdy all,
Regarding the 'right' to run illegal power, it boils down to situational
ethics...it's fine if you don't get caught. It becomes a matter of
integrity. If you can live with it fine.
Changing subjects....
Are there any good guidelines for reforming electrolitic caps???
I have a bank of 10 - 490 volt jobs which were in a Collins 3-500 amp
used by the State Dept in Embassies, I think. Anyway, don't know how
long they have been sitting around or what voltage they were used at,
etc. I am planning to run them at 4 kv potential, whereas they were
used at 3 Kv or so before.
What should be an acceptable ball park figure for leakage current?
I've got an HP 500 volt variable supply which I can use to reform them..
I suppose I will also use some type of current limiting resistor in
series as well.
Any good thoughts on this subject?
73 all, Steve, NJ4F
