Check that the capacitor is installed correctly. Now you are ass-u-me-ing that the capacitor in question is polarised. Charles Bannister said:
Should it be in backwards then it would heat up. Umm, in a low-impedance circuit like a power supply, reverse polarised tantalum capacitors can actually burst into flames, while reverse polarised electrolytics just burst. Rob. |
