Bought a ONE FARAD CAPACITOR at work.
What advantage will I recieve by using this.
What I was hoping for is that this might make the alternator last a little longer and prevent some of the "surge" when I key the mike.
gal 88, astatic mic, palomar 450
magnum 257, palomar 450
even thought that klm 351/p is a great amp, it can't compare to the Palomar 450.
thanks

i have used large capacitors in my power leads to get rid of noise like windshield wiper noise or electric fuel pump noise .i used 100,000 mfd 50 volt on mine and put it on the power cord as near the radio as i could.sure helped me. |

Placeing the 1F cap on the power leads going into your amp will give you instant current for the amp when needed (if your lights dim when you normally TX, you are starving for current). Your battery and alt. can't provide "instantanious" current needed at the peaks of your amp's output. The cap can provide instantanious current when needed. Audiophiles use these caps for the demands of their sterio amps... rule of thumb: 100,000uF per 100W. |
