THIS PAGE WILL CONTAIN ALL THE CAPACITOR DATA RECEIVED FROM YOU GUYS TO HELP FIND THE BEST CAPACITOR FOR THIS WELDER
Please leave your capacitor's manufacturer name, rated capacitance, voltage and the real values that you got when you tested the capacitor in the comments box at the bottom.
It seems like the manufacturing standards on these capacitors are terrible. You can buy two of the same capacitors and one might read 1.5 and the other one 3 Farad. The best thing to do is, not to buy any capacitors that doesn't have a return policy and test them immediately and send it back if the farad is not within 20% of the displayed capacitance.
Most of the data below was sent to me by Mark Sims, he uses sophisticated test equipment to do all these tests. Thank you Mark.
Capacitor Data
Page doesn't work. Does anyone know if I can use a 1farad 16v Nippon Chemicon Cap?
ReplyDeleteVictor, no, you need a 20V capacitor
