Hi All,
I had some issues with an SOM, lazy starting, smoke and no output. Anyway, I've located the faulty component, which is apparently a suppression capacitor. The generator is 4kva and is badged as a Lister unit, though from what I've read, it is likely made by Brush.
Anyone have experience with this part? I found the spec listed as .25uF 250v 60A, but I've struggled to find anything suitable, especially this shape. I've also seen people who have bypassed it and made a nylon bush, any negative effects? Anyone done this?
Cheers,
Jonny
