And Brian, with the hvac school podcast and hvc our school comm - and I am actually at home today because this demonstration that I'm about to do requires a lot of people and just so happens. I have a lot of people in my family now this is actually what's inside of a run capacitor. This is a dual run. Capacitor and you can see it's got this plastic liner.
That goes in now. The way that American radionics am rad is makes. These is kind of unique a lot of them out. There are actually just two separate capacitors just jammed in one shell, but they make a dual capacitor out of two continuous windings and they isolate them to this really thick with this really thick plastic.
So this an internal one would be the smaller capacitor. I think this is a thirty by five, and so this would be the 5 micro farad part, and this would be the 30 micro farad part. What they do is they make all of the connections in this backside here, so they they use a coating that connects all of one side of the capacitor to here and then all of the other side of the capacitor go here and here so this would be The common side - this would be C in this particular capacitor. This would be herm and then this would be fan and they make these connections in here with a coating and then they make a solder connection and then they connect them up to later on to the top of the capacitor.
So this is a turbo 200 mini. So they connect them in here to these to these terminals later on and fill it with oil. So there's actually a liner in here and says oil filled and then they're all connected into these. This is a single capacitor, and so you can see there's no there's! No isolating liners.
I think this is like a single 30 micro, farad capacitor, but what's really going on is they have a metallic coating on either side of a piece of plastic and that's how that's how these are made? I had previously said in an article actually an article. I wrote for the news that there were several hundred feet of winding inside of a capacitor and the guys from AM rad laughed at me said. I think there's a bit more than that, so we're gon na see how much we can get out of here. The tough part with this is that it tends to want to fly around.
It is kind of windy out here. So I'm going to use my kids to see if we can actually stretch this thing out all right. So I've got my enthusiastic children, Jude's enthusiastic Margo's, enthusiastic all right. So here's what I need you kids to do so we've got this and we need to unwind it carefully and then we need to take it and see how far we can get, but because it's windy it's kind of hard to do so it might tear.
So I want you guys to take it and kind of help me hold it and pull it out. As far as we can. Okay, okay, y'all down with that you're gon na help all right all right. So here we go we're gon na unwind, this and you're gon na see the middle part.
This out here is just the light the outside protecting part, but as you start to pull it, don't rip it try not to rip it as you start to pull it. Now, there's the metal there's where the metal starts right there so grab it right there good and grab that Maya and you grab the whole thing with a plastic grab it with the plastic. There we go so it's got its insulated on both sides all right there. We go so Gavin, you hold it there and I might you start pulling it. You're gettin even put your fingers one on one side there there you go, you start pulling it we're gon na see how much of this there is all right, all right, violet! Now you can grab up now you can grab it there. You go all right. Wait! A second wait, a second just goes: we go a little slower sail. Do you want to do it? Alright, we're still going alright.
At least you want to grab it here. How far we got to go, we almost done come on. Do a little slower hold it there. You go good job hold it, there, sale, hey, hey, hey, keep walking till now and it's still not broken so hey another thing with these American radionics mrad capacitors is, if you want to have a nice streamer for a party and Silver's your color.
Maybe it's your silver anniversary, all right, we're seat, we're gon na see if we can break it Paul and it snaps down the face. Whoa heyo, you.
That kid from What's Inside aint gonna like this. No sawzall into the can or nothin lol
Great video.
Never answered your own test. I guess 300' max.
That army you have, a big help.
We have 10 ourselves, no twins or adopted, all ours. Can get a major project done in minutes, not hours or days. Can also destroy the house in minutes too.
Thanks for the videos. Very engaging and educational.
Great video… I had no idea.
I just discovered Amrad capacitors a week ago. Great product! Really neat to see what's actually inside that canister.
Wow, great video. Thank you!
That was cool that is how I learn is not just by reading 📖 but by seeing what it looks like. In school we cut open old systems that no longer worked and I was having trouble with heat pumps and the reversing valve but cut it open and see the parts read the book good to go.
Do they really reduce tuck stock? Because i would really love to reduce the stock in my tuck! Service area Nepean??
That’s awesome! Are you in Barrhaven ?
That looks like several hundred feet to mee😏
That's insain! Love the videos we need some basics for the noobies like me!
