| PSU giving off voltages(is this cap bulging?) |
| (1/1) |
| AE35:
Hey Guys! I have a Hantarex US250(1989) that gives +26.8V on the +24V and +10.8V on the +12V. The +5V is good. Could I fix this, or would it be better to get an replacement! Thanks, Nicholas |

i would expect you are not using the 24v so there is no load hence the high reading,the 12 is a little low and that could be a leaky cap on the output beware those psu hold a lot of charge on the caps |

Thanks grantspain! I'll be careful! Here's a picture..the 400v cap looks somewhat ready to go I think! or is it just me? Thanks! |
| grantspain:
i reckon the 400v cap is o.k,thats the mains smoothing cap-usually if they go leaky you have start up problems the most likely suspect will be direct on the 12v output line and almost certainly will not look bad/bulging |

So, what do you think...since I have no idea what's on the 12V rail should I just shotgun shift all the caps except the 400v? Or try to find a new one? |
