JeremyM1980 Posted December 24, 2000 Share Posted December 24, 2000 I'm rebuilding my RF-3 crossovers and would like an opinion on the following capacitor selections. I don't know a whole lot about electronics, but I read about this "cascading bypass capacitor" thing on northcreekmusic.com. I think I got the idea; any opinions/recommendations appreciated To replace 18 uF cap.- Solen fast caps 10 uF 250v 3.3 uF 400v 2.2 uF 630v 1.0 uF 630v Harmony bypass caps 1.0 uF .22 uF .22 uF =17.94 uF To replace 12 uF cap.- Solen fast caps 7.5 uF 250v 2.0 uF 400v 1.0 uF 630v Harmony bypass caps 1.0 uF .22 uF .22 uF =11.94 uF To replace 4.5 uF cap.- Solen fast caps 2.0 uF 400v 1.0 uF 630v Harmony bypass caps 1.0 uF .22 uF .22 uF =4.44 uF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted December 24, 2000 Share Posted December 24, 2000 Jeremy, The combinations you have there will work since they total to the values you need, but I think you have overdone it a bit. It's the old law of deminishing returns. I would not parallel any more than three caps to get the total. Just two caps should do it! Al K.
