Noob here that needs help identifying the polarity of this capacitor. It's a replacement part for my dryer. pls sars i need de needful
>>2959332It don't matta. Nunna dis mattas.
>>2959332this is non-polarized capacitor, so it doesn't matter how you wire itI'm assuming it's wired on a AC circuit, so plus and minus constantly switch anyway
More often than not the wires will be the same color. Obviously meaning polarity is a nonissue Since you’re a newb I’d suggest not fucking with capacitors Thank me later….
>>2959332Safety CapacitorX1/Y2 capacitors are safety-certified components designed for use in applications where electrical shock or fire hazards must be mitigated. They are suitable for both "line-to-line" (X rating) and "line-to-ground" (Y rating) applications. This dual rating makes them versatile for filtering interference and protecting electronic equipment. Key characteristics of X1/Y2 capacitors:Safety Standards: They are certified to meet international safety standards such as IEC60384-14 and UL60950-1. Failure Mode: Unlike standard capacitors, X1/Y2 capacitors are designed to fail in an open state when subjected to a power surge, preventing short circuits that could lead to fires or shocks. Applications: Commonly used in power supplies, LED lighting, telecommunication equipment, and for lightning and surge protection. Dual Rating: The "X1" rating indicates a higher impulse voltage tolerance for line-to-line applications, while the "Y2" rating is for line-to-ground applications. A Y-rated capacitor can often be used in place of an X-rated one if its voltage rating is sufficient.Many YouTube videos and web info on safety capacitors.
>>2959337>>2959339>>2959360not OP but are there polarized capacitors as well?
it's never straightforward with electronics, the more i learn...FUCKI WISH I HADN'T DROPPED OUT OF HIGHSCHOOLAAAAAAAAAAHI WANNA LIVE IN SHENZHEN AND WORK ON COOL PROJECTS
>>2959380Yes they will be marked
