So the phase cap on my lp went up in smoke. Now the table plays in reverse and I can listen to all the satanic messages on my acdc vinyls, and follow the potjie kos recipes on my randall wicomb vinyl.
So the requirement is a 0.22 uf 400v Class X2 cap.
Can someone explain the difference between X2 and Y2?
I have a few Y2 versions at 500v.
Now X2 runs between your power lines, and Y2 runs to ground.
Is there any ways I can use the Y2 to manage the motor phase?
