I have a powered subwoofer that recently went dead due to a burned up cap. The company who designed and manufactured it is out of business, therefore, a schematic and parts list is unavailable. Since the cap in my sub is unmeasureable due to the damage, a friend who has the same model sub let me pull his amp board to get a look at the cap. It is a small, orangish-beige axial design, with a "^" symbol directly over the shaded bottom half of a circle. Below this arrow and half circle symbol is the number "520". On the other side of the cap are the numbers "104" with the letters "ZES" or "ZE5" below it (hard to make out even with a magnifying glass). Many thanks to anybody who might know what the value of this cap is.
dun worry though...most ceramcs are designed for at least 230V or more...more commonly found are the 1kV types...they are even cheaper than the 230V versions...wonder why...as to why your sub failed when this thing blew...I am also scratching my head...how could it fail in this application?? They have quite long lifes...
