drgj Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I am planning to use a ceramic capacitor rated at 47pf on my Lima motor bogie. Does that sound the right value? What is the difference between a ceramic and one of those silver oblong ones originally fitted? It is missing on mine. Thanks Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgj Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 (edited) The 47pf capacitor did the trick. No sparks at the commutator now. I bought a pack of ten for a fraction of the price of a single suppressor capacitor sold specifically for a loco motor on ebay.
