Krell KSA-100S capacitor Help

maikl 5 · 8th October 2011, 07:34 AM

I want to replace the power supply capacitors 68 000 uF 100V (2 pcs.) I sent a letter to the Krell with the request to sell capacitors. They replied that they could sell them, but then they stopped answering my letters. I am very disappointed with the service desk Krell. Tell me where you can still buy?

It is a pity that such good products have a technical support

Can you fit multiple smaller capacitors to replace the large ones? Often you can get much lower ESR and higher ripple current capability by putting multiple capacitors in parallel, rather than use single larger ones. For example this 68,000 100 V cap offers about 19 amps ripple.

Digi-Key - LNT2C683MSE-ND (Manufacturer - LNT2C683MSE)

But, three of these 22,000 100V caps in parallel will give you an ESR of less than 2 mOhms, and a ripple capability of 135 amps.

Thanks, I've seen them, but I want that new capacitors have the same size as the old ones.
