POSSIBLE MODERN EQUIVALENT RANGE
Modern replacement capacitors may generally fall in the range of:
45,000–47,000 µF
100 VDC or higher
Screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic
Potential replacement suitability must also consider:
● Physical dimensions
● Terminal spacing
● Ripple-current rating
● ESR
● Operating temperature
● Surge-voltage rating
● Mounting arrangement
● Polarity
● Application-specific requirements
A similar capacitance and voltage rating alone does not guarantee compatibility.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION
This is a polarized DC electrolytic capacitor.
It is NOT an AC motor-start or motor-run capacitor.
Correct polarity must always be observed during installation.
Reverse polarity or exceeding the rated voltage can permanently damage the capacitor and may create a serious safety hazard.
SAFETY WARNING
Large electrolytic capacitors can retain a potentially dangerous electrical charge even after equipment has been switched off or disconnected from power.
At its full rated voltage, this capacitor can store approximately 225 joules of energy.
Always use appropriate electrical safety procedures and properly discharge the capacitor before handling terminals.
Installation and testing should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with high-energy electrical systems.
CONDITION
Please review all photographs carefully for the exact cosmetic condition, markings, terminals and configuration of the capacitor being offered.
For vintage, surplus or older electrolytic capacitors, buyers should perform appropriate electrical testing before placing the component into critical equipment.
Recommended testing may include:
● Capacitance
● ESR
● Leakage current
● Insulation condition
● Terminal condition
● Controlled voltage reforming when appropriate
IDEAL FOR
This component may be particularly useful for:
● Industrial equipment repair technicians
● Electronics restoration specialists
● Power-supply repair facilities
● Welding-equipment technicians
● Industrial maintenance departments
● MRO inventory
● Vintage industrial equipment restoration
● OEM equipment repair
● Electronics laboratories
● Engineering projects requiring very high DC capacitance
