Hi,
I burned the caps on a fairly new seaking 120A ESC. The ESC will run for about 30 sec, then shut off. If I remove power, the unit will reset and will run again for about 30sec. I suspect the caps are now bad.
I want to try to repair the esc, and while I'm at it I want to add a cap board. I am thinking about these options:
1) Leave the damaged cap on the ESC and just install a cap board on the leads
2) Remove the damaged cap on the ESC and just install a cap board on the leads
3) Remove the damaged cap on the ESC, install a jump wire where the old cap was, and install a cap board on the leads
4) Replace the damanged cap on the ESC and install a cap board on the leads
The reason I would not just do #4 is I don't know where to find a replacement cap for the controller, so I was wondering if any of the other 3 options would work. If anyone knows a source for for a replacement ESC on the controller that would be great.
Chief
