Hi Gert.

Without knowing the circumstances of your capacitor failure my experience  when mine failed it was a symptom of the regulator that had failed causing the capacitor to vent its content overboard.

This is an interesting post.  I just had a voltage regulator go out on me and it caused some damage. A number of electrical things on the plane.  I installed a new voltage regulator, but this has me thinking I might need to check the capacitor or replace it.  



Thanks

Hello Gert,



if you need also a new regulator, get one from Silent Hektik http://www.silent-hektik.de/UL_R_912.htm - they are muuuch better than the Ducatis and are plug and play. Delivery is also very fast.



BTW: Your engine runs very well in my Europa - also with the Silent Hektik regulator

Hello Roland,



Any chance of a translation and contact details for Silent-Hektik please. Also what did the rectifier-regulator cost after all tax (if any) and postage was paid?



Thanks, Jonathan

Hi Roland



Thanks for the hint - I will go for that regulator.

Nice to hear that your engine is running smooth.



Regards

Gert

Hi Jonathan,



the regulator costs 197,- â‚¬ plus 17,-â‚¬ shipping within the EU (so be fast if based in the UK 



There is an order form on the SH website https://www.ssl-id.de/silent-hektik.de/SH_Best.php but I'm afraid no translation. 



I do remember a regulator discussion here on the forum about 1 or two years ago....

Jonathan,



I don't think that there's an English version of their site - but it 

contains so much good stuff that I translated it a year or so back (see 

attached PDF). You might want to double check the prices as they may 

have changed.

     Hi Jonathan and all,

     

     Thanks for the translation.

     This Silent Hektik regulator is much interesting.

     Had it existed 13 years ago when we wired our airplane, we'd     certainly have gone for it.

     At the time we were only aware of the Schicke regulators, which we     elected to install. Worked flawlessly since then.

     

     -- 

       Best regards,

       Gilles

Dear Roland, Nigel and Gilles,



Thanks for the information and help. I collect this kind of information and file it for future reference.
