johns02 Posted March 26, 2001 Share Posted March 26, 2001 Why do I read a total of 39.5uf with 39uf & 1uf bypass paralleled on Al's crossover. Does the typical caps in parallel formula not apply to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Klappenberger Posted March 26, 2001 Share Posted March 26, 2001 John, 39 uF is 39 += 5% which is 39 +-1.95, so it could be 37.05 to 40.95 uF. You have 1 uF +- 10% across it which is 1 +=.05 or .95 to 1.05 uF. If you add the extremes it could measure anywhere form 38.0 to 42.0 uF. So.. your cap is good at 39.5. Al K.
