In Reply to: capacitors and rectification question could use some help posted by John PA on November 5, 2000 at 19:36:05:
OK, assuming you have wired the cap correctly (is there +ve Volts on the +ve terminal and -ve Volts on the -ve terminal?), then the next possibility is the ripple rating of the cap. Look for a really high quality cap, with a high ripple rating.A few more questions:
Is the cap near the bridge rectifier?
Bridges will typically run quite warm, when used in such applications. Heat will accelerate damage to caps, significantly.Is the Voltage ON THE CAP the correct polarity?
What brand of cap are you using?
Is is a good quality component?
