Hi,
I think either cap series is acceptable - this is a very non-critical
application, given the relatively short run-times involved. It's not like
it on a rooftop in an air conditioning unit running 24/7. But I think the
25uF value is too low; for a 15/30 NST at 120VAC/60Hz you want something
like 120uF. For 240/50 it's less, not sure how much. But again, this is a
fuzzy target - there's not a sharp sweet-spot.
For line filters, I think most folks just use whatever they find on the
surplus market. I put up a web page about how to hook up EMI filters - it
may not be obvious in which direction to hook them up! See

Hey
Thanks to all the people helping out in my previous queries. Here's another
question out to all you folks.
While searching for a PFC Capacitor for my SGTC (15kV, 30mA) of rating
around 25uF, I am confused about whether it is acceptable to use motor run
capacitors made by companies like EPCOS listed here (
http://en.tdk.eu/tdk-en/529468/products/product-catalog/film-capacitors/ac-film-capacitors
) or focus on the dedicated Power Factor Correction capacitors made by them
listed here (
http://en.tdk.eu/tdk-en/530264/products/product-catalog/components-for-power-factor-correction/phasecap--premium-capacitors
).
I am able to procure the AC film capacitors (for motor run) pretty easily
in local shops, but am having a hard time locating the other type.
Has anybody previously used the EPCOS B323 seris of Motor run capacitors
successfully?
Also, on a related note, any suggestions as to what kind of a Line Filter
should i be looking at (Power supply is 240Volts, 50Hz).
Regards
Ayush Sharma
