Lanzar Opticap 50 5 Farad 24v Oval Capacitor with Neon Rods Questions & Answers
I have a opticap500 capacitor and trying to instal...
The spark is normal since at the initial time of the connection, the capacitor has 'zero' ohms. As it charges, less and less current flows until it is fully charged.The only way to 'pre-charge' a capacitor is to connect it to power.You can put a resistor in series and slow the charging rate and thus the spark will decrease/go away.Pick a high ohm maybe 1watt resistor, put it in series and go for it.
Does not shut off
with the car running the cap should be on. there is an adjuster near the terminals. be ready to adjust. run the car for a minute and then sut it off and adjust it so just turns off within a minute of sutting the car off. it may take a couple tries to fine-tune it. it now, should automatically switch on and off as the voltage changes between running, and resting.
