Bigdnfay1 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hi all, It's been awhile. Hope everyone is doing well. It's been so long, I had to create a new account. Had major trouble logging in with the old password. I have a quick question. I need to replace a 3.5uf cap in an old network. Can I use a 2.0uf and a1.5uf in parallel in it's place. I have the two caps already and would like to use them if possible. The 3.5 is 150v and the other 2 are 250v. Is this a problem. Thanks Big D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Mobley Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 jeez, it's like old home week. Good to see you bigdnfay. I remember when you donated your pie-slice emblem so we could reproduce it. I think we eventually distributed around 300 emblems. 6 or 7 years of water under the bridge since then, I think. And yes, you can parallel caps to get a value. I did this on the first set of ALK networks I built. It was the Al-approved economy option to get around the expensive Hovlands. I eventually replaced them with the Hovlands, couldn't hear any difference at all. Dang. Hope you are well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
