In Reply to: I have used Solens for years and I prefer the ASC. . posted by John PA on September 22, 2004 at 05:43:58:
I don't know if you are aware John, but motor run caps in general carry an AC voltage rating but not a DC voltage rating. Now your ASC's might but most don't. In the past they did. I have a GE 97F sereis in front of me that says 440 VAC and 1,000 VDC. But new ones aren't DC rated. They do make other series that are DC rated though. So maybe the biggest reason is more to do with UL approval and legal things than money and space.Just a thought.
Glad you like the caps and don't be afraid to try them in other locations. I used them for speaker crossover and others have reported good sound in coupling cap locations. You can buy small size ones like 1.0 uF.

mostly the smaller values like 1 uf that you mentioned?Thanx
just do ac times 1.6 and you have a good rule of thumb for dc
their caps are going to be increased in AC voltage to 440 on all and that the DC is at least 800volts. I did a breakdown voltage on them and at 900 volts they were still fine. There was little leakage to almost none on some. The 100uF were less that 1% or their uF rating! All of them. I was surprised by this.ja in cool and getting warm again, Tucson, AZ
