Hey I have a Moeller 24v transformer power supply and have found a blown disc capacitor. I know its gone because its blown up and caused a lot of black in the area. But i can't seem to find the correct one to replace it with, its a 22nf at 1kv. Blue disc capacitor. Ive just had arrived 22nf rated at 6kv, would that be okay to use or not? Basically I want to know if theres an alternative one I can use? Also i have ordered another 22nf but only mentions 50v minimum.
Also whats the best way to test a capacitor, can i use a multimeter or do i need to buy a proper tester? If you could link me to some of the equipment I require that would be ace.
I'm a maintenance engineer and I'm seriously interested in becoming more electronic, hence nabbing this faulty transformer from work
Best way to learn or advice welcome? or any software trainers or courses that doesnt cost too much?
Thanks
Sorry forgot to add I beleive it blew up because it was wired incorrectly and sent 240v into the 24v output. So I was told.
