NCT Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Kindly explain the use and difference of AC and DC capacitor. Wheather a ac capacitor can used in place of adc capacitor what will be the consequences. How to test the capacitor with a lone multimeter.

marke Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hello NCT That is an extremely broad set of questions that you have asked. It is difficult to answer give give an easy answer to you. You need to read some background information on capacitors and then ask specific questions about applications etc. Best regards, Mark Empson | administratorSkype Contact = markempson | phone +64 274 363 067LMPForum | Power Factor | L M Photonics Ltd | Empson family | Advanced Motor Control Ltd | Pressure Transducers | Smart Relay | GSM Control | Mark Empson Website | AuCom | Soft Starters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB2005 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 The simple answers for your questions Kindly explain the use and difference of AC and DC capacitor. AC capacitor is used for the equipments designed for AC Supply and DC…….. Wheather a ac capacitor can used in place of adc capacitor what will be the consequences. NO. Capacitor may burst. lone multimeter. What is this? "Don't assume any thing, always check/ask and clear yourself". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marke Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 QUOTE(NCT @ Oct 10 2007, 01:18 PM) * Wheather a ac capacitor can used in place of adc capacitor what will be the consequences. NO. Capacitor may burst. As a general rule, it is possible to use an AC rated capacitor on DC, and usually to a higher voltage than the AC voltage rating. If the capacitor is designed for DC, then you can still apply AC, but often at a much lower voltage except for electrolytic capacitors, tantalum capacitors and other polarised capacitors which can be used on DC only.
