    Power Supply Died

    I took the capacitor by a local motor-repair shop. Their meter found that the capacitor was bad. I already ordered a couple of them Monday. As soon as they get here I'll solder one in and see what happens. I'll also do the tests "73's de Edd" showed above. Thanks!!

    No, nothing lights up: The whole thing is dead as a doornail but I'm reading 124V inside the fused connection and the fuse filament is intact. I do know the capacitor you have the arrow pointing to in the far right bottom corner, is the one which has a couple of rough/charred looking spots on...

    My meter is reading 00.90 microfarads on the capacitor and if I hold it for a little while it reads OL (overload)

    Someone told me to use a 120v 20A Variac. Is that safe with a bare nichrome wire?

    So that type capacitor, going bad, can kill the whole unit?

    I have a tester for capacitance. Can it be tested while connected? The wires are soldered on.

    Thanks Ok, on about the third inspection I do see one of the larger capacitors which has a couple of small dark-grey crusty spots on the rim on it's terminal end. I don't see any other leakage; all the other caps and components seem to be in new condition. Could that have killed the whole thing...

    Hello all, I build CNC equipment but know very little about troubleshooting electronics. Sure could use some help. I have a Dual Channel 0-30V 5A Triple Output Power Supply I bought off Ebay last year, and was using it to power the nichrome cutting wire of a CNC hotwire foamcutter. It was...
