I am new with electronic background, but not in this type of thing. I have a KerStar Vacuum cleaner and it tripod the house, so on opening it up I found the following blown inside. The way it is wired would suggest it's some sort of Radio Filter Cap.
Tried Farnell with the numbers, but not having much luck. Can someone point me in the direction of what I would need to get my Vac up and running again.
Thanks for the reply. I have confirmed the motor works fine bypassing the filter. I just wondered if someone could recommend a spare equivalent. It's umber expensive from manufacturer which makes it not worth replacing.
I believe this cap has 3 legs and is used on the power line.
Inside it has 3 capacitors.
2---4700pf and 1---0.15uf
The caps are rated for Y and 2X which is from line to ground and line to line.
I have something like it made by Wima.
I use these capacitors to filter switching power supplies.
Don't put any 250V cap on the power line.
A cap with the marking "X" or "2X" is made to go across the power line. X=across
A cap with the marking "Y" is made to go from line to ground and are used in pairs. Y=line to gnd + line to gnd.
You could pull parts from a old dead power supply.
