new filter caps xs 1050

[brownale]

i just received new filter caps from Mauser and i goofed my order.
I bought 100v 33000uf instead of 100v 22000uf.
will this be fine or should I send them back and get the 100v 22000uf ?

Do they physically fit?

50% capacitance increase is on the high side. That being said, the 1050 has a soft start circuit that should help prevent some of the start up potential issues that increasing the capacitance of filter caps can cause.

they are the same size physically

That is what I bought, on purpose, to replace the ones in my SX-1050. They seem to work just fine. It is still on the bench getting further refurbishment, but when I tried it there was no problem, the input soft-start protector handled them just fine, the soft-start relay and the protection relay worked just like they are supposed to.

me too.

Another consideration is the ACTUAL capacitance of the two devices. The old Nicks might still be holding 27KµF while the brand-spanking new replacements might be struggling to manage 27KµF. Just saying...

ok I see it is fine to raise value by 50% so ill keep and install. thanks for the input.

I would be concerned if it did not have a soft start circuit, but that saves a lot of stress on the rectifiers.
