Hi all,
I am doing some restoring on my Denon DRA-300. The Denon uses two capacitors in its power circuit. One is 50V 6800uF and one is 5600uF. I have two 50V 12000 uF 20% left over from a previous project. The rectifier is a Shindengen S4VB 4 amp 200volt.
Now for my question/ concern. I realize that this is quite an increase in Capacitance so my question is if the 4 amp rectifier will be sufficient for the current surge at start up. There is a 4 amp fuse in the rectifier circuit also.
My options are: 1) Replace the rectifier with a higher amp model 6 or 8 amp. 2). Scrape the larger capacitors and reorder ones closer to the original sizes an retain the original bridge rectifier.
Thoughts and recommendations welcome! Thanks much
