what're these four tiny capacitors DO for me inside my ol' DialarcHF?
I just bought an old miller dialarc HF "whiteface" vintage. while
getting ready to test it, and cleaning it out, I noticed some of the leads on the tiny capacitors in the main rectifier bridge are loose, kind of like how quarter-inch round rod would rattle around inside a piece of half-inch water pipe. they're "probably" bad, because of that alone, I'd guess, but, umm, what exactly is the electrical function of those four tiny things supposed to BE? like "what're they doing for me?" here'a an extreme closeup of one of the 'loose leads' capacitors, next to one of the four "big honkin" diodes in the bridge. http://www.image-upload.net/files/53...or_closeup.jpg here's a page from the owners manual, where they're descibed... http://www.image-upload.net/files/5385/parts_blowup.jpg and here's the parts schematic, for the same machine. http://www.image-upload.net/files/53...0schematic.jpg electrically, I'm a "real slow learner", so, thanks for your help, guys :-) toolie |
