Title: Capaciter in series question
Post by: Tone Junkie on August 05, 2010, 12:12:24 am

Ok I have been reading trying see if I understand, on my fender cap Board i have two 100uf caps in what I think is series so that would make that first node 50uf in capacitance right.  Bill

Yes.   Series arrangement halves capacitance but allows the voltage rating of the two caps to combine. E.G. 2 x 350v caps in series = ~700v max voltage.
