jtkinney Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I had a capacitor shoot out the other night, it shot it's guts out onto the back of my hand. You got to watch the polarity on them electrolytics, they don't like it backwards. Those articles look interesting, but will have to spend some time to digest them.

Rockets Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hopefully, it wasn't to your A/C unit...I had to replace two last year that spilled their guts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtkinney Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 No, the AC cap was last month, it didn't leak, just lost its capacity. This was on a signal generator -18v power supply, and all my fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
