Re: Replacing capacitors on a 12v 5000w Pure Sine Inverter .

Thank you Marsha847. The extra clearance suggestion makes sense. Any thoughts on whether the uf rating ought to be kept the same or not and what benefit there might be in adding capacitors with higher uf ratings?

Greetings folks. I darn near blew the heck out of my 12V inverter the other day by connecting it to a 24V battery source. :poof . Well lesson learned...... or maybe not . But in the meantime I have 4 Capacitors that need immediate replacing each rated at 16V 3300uf and 105deg. I saw a break down review You Tube video where the host suggested that the 35V Capacitors were a better choice for manufacturers to use. Another video suggested that replacing capacitors of higher Voltage is fine but that the 3300uf rating should be kept the same. Can someone please clarify what the functional benefits...

Well, Im not sure if this post is being sent as a reply to the last persons post or if its been correctly sent as my own but just to say Im glad to be here with capacitor challenges I need insight into.
