Part 3/7:
They highlighted the importance of testing each capacitor and replacing them with new ones that have the same voltage and capacitance ratings. When exact replacements aren’t available, doubling up: for instance, connecting two 10 MFD capacitors in parallel to achieve a combined value (like 20 MFD), can be an effective workaround.
Using Common Parts for Effective Results
In this case, the technician used multiple 10 MFD, 150V DC capacitors connected together to form a 50 MFD storage unit. This is a practical approach when sourcing specific components proves challenging. The use of such techniques underscores the importance of understanding basic electronics concepts like series and parallel connections.
