Whats a LOPT ? Line OutPut Transformer ???
Thanks

Bob said:Aren't they called an "FBT" for FlyBack Transformer in the
USA/Canada? Not being pedantic, but I was under the impression that
"HOT" stands for Horizontal Output Transistor.
That was my understanding, as a denizen of far-away upside-down
Australia where we use the British terms terms too. But our island is
much bigger and warmer than theirs is.

folks have re-named them Heck, I don't even
know what ESR or ESB or whatever they're referring
to when they talk about electrolytics is
Peter said:I guess that in the good old days the failure rate of electrolytics wasn't
as high as it is today.

Maybe worse. But the failure mechanism wasn't as well understood, and often
we'd make the symptoms go away by bridging a capacitor with a substitute,
then change it out and go on our way, without ever realizing there was such
a thing as ESR.
Ken said:Hi...
Or in the case of the old can types, just bridge
the bad section and leave it
Bob said:Howdy!
ESR is short for Equivalent Series Resistance, that annoying
characteristic of electrolytic caps to behave as though they have a
substantial resistor in series with them.
If you go to Doug Jones' Capacitor Wizard website at
http://www.awiz.com/cwinfo.htm, there's a lot of info there about this
subject.

because of the leakage (load) presented by the old cap.

Here, it's a flyback. Mostly because that's what you
tend to do when you grab ahold of one
But then I'm old, long retired. Perhaps the younger
folks have re-named them
