pls how do i charge a 600uf 400vac capacitor. I want to use it as a storage cell.thanks looking forward 4 replies
 
What voltage do you want to charge it to? How fast do you need to charge it to that level?

And what power source will you charge it from?

400V AC corresponds to about 560V DC ( the result of rectifying 400V AC). Be aware that when a 600uF cap is charged to anything greater than 100V or so it is potentially LETHAL!!
 
thanks so much.everyone but alec-t.so i cant charge it from ac and if so what dc voltage can i use to charge it then?
