I have purchased some decent 35 uf AC PF caps from C&H Sales for about $6.00
a piece http://www.aaaim-dot-com/CandH/index.htm. I would bet that Apex also has
some http://www.apexelectronic-dot-com/index3.htm.

Which brings me to a question; are the metal cans of large AC caps isolated?
I was wondering if when mounting them in my system if I should ensure that
the metal cases are isolated or if I can pack them together (i.e. touching
each other) to save space.

Howdy All,

I just got my PFC caps today, and it turns out that they sent motor START
caps.
ARGH! And they have no higher than 12uf in actual run caps, and seeing as I
need 330uf, I would need a million of em. Anybody have a good source of
cheap
caps I can get quick? I'm really trying to get the coil ready for Halloween,
and I need to know the dimension of my PFC caps to finish the power cabinet.

Drat!
