Lets say we want our applied voltage to be 650v then rb1 and rb2 325k ohms.

Replacing bipolar capacitors. I frankly do not know the correct procedure for re forming the dielectric on non polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Im looking for 1uf in a 200 andor 350 volt non polarized bipolar capacitors. Some brands are much better than others.

Such damage can only be repaired by replacing the caps. Are non polar and bipolar capacitors interchangeable. One common rule of thumb for the balancing current is 10x the leakage current thus for two 100uf350v capacitors connected in series to form a 50uf capacitor maximum leakage of 12 sqrt 100350 94ua times 10 is about 1 ma.

Are they effectively the same creature or are there truly significant differences in their application. Ive seen some 30 year old electrolytic caps with high leakage. It may be as simple as re forming them in both polarities.

If the device was in storage for an extended period of time and then failed suddenly when power was applied the caps may be internally shorted. Finally capacitors exhibit a curious behavior called dielectric absorption or da the capacitor acts as though it has a memory. Im looking for a source for some non polarbipolar electrolytic capacitors used in arcade monitors.

Voltage on the cap keeps it formed lack of voltage causes a very slow loss of the oxide layer. They show a hoigh esr significant dielectric abs just as lytics do. Electros will slowly show a dc leakage current below rated voltage when they lose the oxide layer.

Replacing capacitors with low leakage units is always a good idea. When a charge is placed on the capacitor then removed an echo of the charge can reappear on the plates as if by magic. Bipolar caps are basically two polarized lytics coupled head to toes.
