Monitor recapping and low ESR
Posted: Mon Oct 08, 2018 1:52 pm
I'm planning to recap two Commodore 1084S-D2 and a 1084S-P1 monitors.
I've assembled part lists for both (they are quite different in internal design) and I've selected Panasonic or Nichicon where ever I could.
I also tried to select low ESR caps as much as I could. About 1/3 of them are low ESR now on my list.
I don't really understand what low ESR means, something like low internal resistance that lowers when the caps warm up. I've just naively assumed selecting low ESR parts would be a good thing to do.
I'm wondering through, low ESR really important in CRTs? Most things I've read are about high frequency switching power supplies.
I think of my parts are ESR type, do you guys think it is safe to use the parts I've selected or should they like, all be low ESR or is it not important at all?
