actually that is way too big for a galvanic isolator. But it is about the correct value for a ferro-resonant battery charger; notice the AC rating. The charger uses a synchronous loop (L & C, tuned to 60Hz) to keep the supply voltage fairly constant. The charger part just uses a diode bridge, no regulation.
I'm afraid it will not make your boat sail faster, actually those weigh a ton so probably want to go with the modern semiconductor based version. ;-) Leslie. -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 5/4/17, svpegasus38 via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: Subject: Re: Stus-List DQOTD - What is a Arcotronic 50 uf Capacitor for?

Hi All, Back on earth, gear heads who read practical science, could engineer all kinds of things themselves. I’m guessing a galvanic isolator was planned, and like many projects never quiet finished. Then the lawyers out numbered the engineers, lots of paper work ensued, and surveyors wanted monitors or some kind of fail-safe device to save us all. Occasionally the surveyors would tell stories of kids and moms electrocuted just off the boat, usually in fresh water. So now the boats are too expensive for mortals to work on the boat, and they sit in harbors while, the owners work to pay for the marketing. . . Clearly time for me to get off the dock. . .

Nah! It's a flux capacitor and it's used for time travel. It allows you to sail your boat "Back to the Future".
