Re: Inverter Repair. Still blowing fuses..

I don´t think the 22pf versus 24pf will make any difference. Most caps
have tolerances as high as 20%... so a cap marked as 22pf could have a
capacitance as high as 26.4pf or as low as 15.6pf... and it´s value
would be within tolerance. The circuit designer surely took that into
account when the circuit was designed.

What worries me is the 1kv rating of the substitute cap... try to get
one of 2kv at least, and repeat the tests.

Probably the 1kv cap is shorting under load.
