    High ripple current caps

    High ripple current caps, what kind of capacitors are they? what are their uses?

    Re: High ripple current caps

    used in analog power supply's - ones that just use a big transformer.
    also used on car amplifiers etc.

    any time you need to smooth out some power-spikes.

      Can they be used in a computer PSU?

        usually the lower the ESR (resistance) the higher the ripple is in a cap.

          to a degree,

          but really high ripple stuff is not designed for high frequency running.
          not talking about the 8mm cigarette but's here, but the big 20,000uf beercan's

            Is there any high current pouch battery that are size 60mmX80mm maximum thickness 21mm for a battery operated tab welder
            by sam_sam_sam
            I have a battery operated tab welder and the battery does not have enough current for the battery tab welder because after about 30 welded it does not have the same current output it voltage has gone down by at least 0.500 volts or maybe a more than that

            I can fit 21700 battery cells in the enclosure it is very tight fit for four of them that are 35 amp high current capacity 35X4=140 high current output this should work a lot better than what is installed right now

            I tested the battery cells there are installed right now and they are testing good with no issues that I...

            Is it no harm to replace with capacitor without ripple current rating?
            by chth96
            When I tried to repair LG 29 inch CRT TV, I found that the ESR value of samyoung SMS capacitor(160v 2.2uf), which is very close to D1879 transistor, is 6 ohm.


            Judging from above ESR Meter Table,I think It is necessary to replace this sms capacitor.So I visited local electronics shop,and I purchased 160v 2.2uf rubycon YK capacitor.
            But when I browse through rubycon YK datasheet,I found that there is no ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf specification. But On the contrary, I found 39 mA ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf SMS capacitor.
            Rubycon YK DataSheet (b...

            Dell Optiplex GX260 - Advice Needed for Polymodding Motherboard
            by SwedishDiesel
            Howdy folks,

            I have an Optiplex GX260 that blew a couple of those troublesome Nichicon HM series (ultra low ESR) electrolytic capacitors. Because said caps are obsolete, they are pretty much impossible to find on the market; I did find a listing for some but I believe they are counterfeit. I feel the easiest thing to do would be to replace all the blown caps with polymer ones. I am by no means an expert in electronics, and I've found a fair bit of conflicting information, so any guidance or confirmation would be greatly appreciated. While from a practical standpoint it's not worth...

            HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
            by momaka
            Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

            Cyberpower 1500AVR UPS repair
            by quickname
            I'd like to start out by thanking this forum for providing the info to be able to repair my 15 year old CP1500AVRLCD UPS. Here is all the info I gathered during my trouble-shooting and re-capping.

            Like clockwork, I've had to replace the SLA batteries every 4 years. It was about that time and the UPS was acting like it needed new batteries... randomly shutting off with AC present, not being able to charge fully, and poor runtime when AC was removed. So, I replaced the batteries but noticed that it was not charging properly.

            I decided to verify that the batteries were...
