A: As a rule of thumb, use 1 farad of capacitance for every 1,000 watts RMS of total system power. But there is no electronic penalty for using larger value caps, and indeed many see benefits at 2 or 3 farads per 1,000 watts RMS. The larger the cap, the more charge is available to the amp when it needs it.
5 ½ Farad 500K Micro Digital Power Capacitor.
If you have a missing electrical system and add a capacitor, you add more load to the alternator. Now the alternator has to charge the battery, power the amps AND recharge the capacitor.
Yes, a capacitor will not drain the battery. If a capacitor is severely discharging the battery, this is due to the incorrect setting of the capacitor. There are some capacitors with third terminals or caps over them. The caps can indicate voltage and must be switched off manually.
The job of capacitors is to let only the high frequencies pass. The inductor (also called coil or choke) does the opposite job by only letting the low frequencies pass. It does this by storing energy in magnetic rather than electrical form.
A capacitor is an integral part of electrical equipment and is therefore almost always found in electronic circuitry. The main purpose of capacitors is to store electrostatic energy in an electric field and, if possible, transfer this energy into the circuit.
Capacitors are devices that store electrical charge. They are a fundamental part of electronics and have a wide variety of applications. The most common use for capacitors is energy storage. Additional applications include power conditioning, signal coupling or decoupling, electronic noise filtering, and remote sensing.
Size Limits
The general rule is to add 1 farad of capacitance for every 1000 watts RMS of system power. Note that there is no harm in using more capacitance than this rule, and many systems use 2 or 3 farads per 1000 watts RMS.
If the wrong run capacitor is installed, the motor will not have a uniform magnetic field. This causes the rotor to hesitate at the uneven spots. This hesitation causes the motor to become noisy, increase energy consumption, drop in performance and cause the motor to overheat.
A battery can store thousands of times more energy than a capacitor of the same volume. Batteries can also provide this energy in a steady, reliable stream. But sometimes they can’t provide the energy as fast as it’s needed.
A diode is a small semiconductor that basically tricks the alternator into thinking the voltage is lower than it is and encourages it to increase the voltage. You can use connectors to add diodes to the exciter wire that goes to the alternator.
This upgrade replaces or extends three key wires in the electrical system with 1/0 or 4 gauge wires: the battery ground to chassis wire, the chassis to engine block wire and the alternator positive battery positive cable.
If you’ve read this far and are starting to think about 150s, hair tricks and busted windshields, you can still enjoy some serious bass with a single high output alternator in your car or truck. Typically, you need about 100 amps of electricity for every 1000 watts of power generated.
