Can you switch a 220 microfarad capacitor with a 100 microfarad capacitor?

Answer 1

This depends on the application. It may be OK to do so, or it may result in problems. If this is an already designed circuit, and you have a 820u cap that has blown, I suggest replacing with a 1000u (in my experience, this is more common and readily available), AND i usually up the voltage rating on the cap.

Capacitors typically blow due to overvoltaging or reverse polarizing them. If they've blown before, it's likely you'll have similar problems again, which is why i go with bigger, and higher voltage rated. I hate reduing things repeatedly.

Answer 2

That depends on the application. In a power supply filter you could probably go from the 100 to the 220 without a problem.

Answer 3

A: NO substitution can be made only with a higher the 100v capacitor rating . For instance the 100v capacitor can be substitute for the 50v capacitor not the other way around

Answer 4

Yes
