Can I use These ?
I got some huge capacitors, can I use them to filter my PS or something

Re: Can I use These ?
In a computer power supply, you would need to use low-ESR units. Also, these probably won't fit in your power supply.My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics. -

Those look like motor kick-start caps... certainly not suitable for computer use.Ludicrous gibs!

IIRC, Mepco Electra's 3186 series was low ESR, by 1980s standards, and 18,000uF is a rather large capacitance.. Unless you work with a mainframe or large serve, these are probably hobby material.PeteS in CA
Power Supplies should be boring: No loud noises, no bright flashes, and no bad smells.

Re: Can I use These ?
Thanks for the kind reply,Pete.
They are actually part of a DIGITAL EQUIPTMENT power supply.
I think it went bellyup.
I was thinking of hanging on to them for a 13.8v dc regulated PS for my CB toys.....which I am using 3-300w computer PS's wired +5+5+5=15v@30A
and the Big caps help the PS's from kicking off when I unkey......so far works really, really good.Comment

PS
If you plan on trying running 2 or more Power Supplies in series snip the ground lugs from the plug and dont let the PowerSupplies touch each other.....Comment

Why not?
Do they die?
