Tripp Lite Power Line Conditioner -bad caps

[sam_sam_sam]

I have two of these unit one is a little different than the other one

The older unit would do the following ------->

When the AC unit would come ON it would shift to a higher voltage then shift back to the normal voltage again

This would even happen when I would use the microwave oven
I was having some work done on the house and the workers where using some power tools
Power Line Conditioner kept shifting back and forth between voltages making the battery backup go nuts

I had it with this Power Line Conditioner so I took it apart to see what was inside of it
I found two caps on the board

220uf@35 volts to a operational amplifier I do not remember the part number adj pot ESR value (.30 )
330uf@35 volts to a 12 volt regulator (.31 )

The other unit
220uf@35 volts (.16 ) ESR value
330uf@35 volts (.30 )

This unit did not shift back and forth between voltages like the other one did


These units are about 15 years old and had the Elite brand in then

Replaced caps in both of them and there both now working like they should

Re: Tripp Lite Power Line Conditioner -bad caps

To take these units a part
First of all
The power outlets are mounted to the board
The outlets are the push the wire into the outlet type
So you have to cut the wires to get to the bottom of the board
The wires to the transformer a very short but at least these are plugs that plug into the board
And the ground wires are very short to the outlets

Second of all
So you have fun taking it apart and putting it back together again

And when you plug unit back into the outlet you hope that you do not see the Fourth of July and fire works
