Acetone is a chemical used to make products like nail polish remover and paint remover. Your body also makes this chemical when it breaks down fat. Acetone is safe in normal amounts, but too much of it could be a problem.


Does that help you any Glen??

Thanks Perry
I still don’t like the stuff. To many years in fiberglass shops.

So conditioning the power caps for this bad boy. Things to note when doing this is to start at lower voltage and fully charge at that setting them increase over a few ranges to desired voltage and then leave at that setting a couple hours after they are charged and current is below excepted levels.

these are 35,000uf power caps so I pay extra attention to this process

I have also added a custom soft start into the mains feed. With the big power caps it likes to let you know it’s powering on.

Yeh it’s a good buzz Perry

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Good? Well it's a buzz but NOT so good. You get used to it (NOT).

So, 50% IPA and 50% Acetone? I haven't tried that yet...

Yep, when using 99% purity Isopropyl

That and an acid brush and you'll have no issues

 

[J!m]

I’ll give that a try!

One cap done second on machine.
Takes a few hours to do each one properly

 

[grapplesaw]

We have successfully conditioned the power caps. They are installe. A little wiring to tidy up then start putting the power to it tomorrow

I like those red battery terminal covers. Really drives home the point: "this will kill you".

Approved.
