Deang Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I don't think so. I think it's to appease those who think bigger is better. In one way, it's a great part, in another - just plain dumb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glens Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Nah, it's for faster passing of transient leading edges. I've heard that 1.5 kV units are even better at that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they the ones with the 8ga leads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glens Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Not just any 8 ga. leads. Gotta be Mil-Spec, built up from, I believe, 2 12s and a 14 combined! Would have to look it up to be certain. Wait, if you're talking about the caps themselves, I don't remember. I think they have plates with threaded holes for bolted connections.
