I have an old capacitor in a circuit that is 20uF 400v & has three pins.
The outer casing is Aluminium & is used to fix the cap in place, I have attached a picture there is a DC voltage input & output but I am unsure what the third pin is for, is it just another DC output maybe it has various resistors connected to it?
There are no markings on the capacitor.
Can I change this capacitor to a normal two pin cap, if so how do I connect it, or do I need another three pin cap the same.
Cheers
