[QUOTE="ah lee, post: 278607, member: 7950"] ;) the following are some words from a [SIZE=3][b]sifu from the far far away knigdom..[/b][/SIZE] :D :lol: ;) 1) Electrolytic capacitors have high capacitance as the electrolyte forms one plate and foil the other with a very thin oxide layer deposited when it's energised (that's why they got + and -). This insulation is very delicate and can easily be damaged by overvoltage. However the higher voltage rating the capacitors are, the less capacitance for the same volume. 2) Sometimes when relays or motors cut out, a HV transient is generated (creating sparks). This transients, if not controlled, can damage the caps if it's above the capacitor rating. 3) Electrolytics have a life span, depending on the temperature (which tend to dry out the electrolyte), the number of times it cycles (discharges) and also due to overvoltage. That's why your relay idea will not prolong it's life as disconnection and reconnection may stress it more. 4) If you want further protection, swap the D1 diode with a 15V Zener diode and make sure your capacitors are rated HIGER than 15V. 5) Mica, polyester capacitors (which have no liquid insude) lasts very long. More discussions here: http://www.autoworld.com.my/forum/allposts.asp?summary=1&Forum=ap512122419&access=1&status=1&subject=DIY+Voltage+stabiliser 1) You can use a single 1F cap used for HIFI or a bank of smaller values. If you protect your capacitors by swaping D1 with a 15V zener diode, then a 25V rated capacitor will do just fine. 3) Cn.. n stands for as many as needed. 4) Adding more.. additional cost with minimal inprovement. ______________________________________________________________ go lah pasar rd..that day i bought a [color=red][b][font=Arial]LED n Resistor in Kepong for RM2[/font][/b][/color]..DAM THE EXPENSIVE [/QUOTE]
