Big unknown capacitor |
|
|
What type of capacitor is this?
http://home.earthlink.net/~rcalande/_images/image_index.html
It's about 7 inches in length by 3 inches in diameter.
Should I interpret the rating as 1800 WVDC or TS 1 and 8000 WVDC?
Does "LCSM" mean anything?

Nor I.
It could well be out of/for a photoflash/strobe of the
professional type.

FWIW, the comma between the 1 and the 8 suggests that the capacitor
may be of European manufacture.

P.S. from their "about" page, I gather that SCR is the sum of three
original companies - SCR (est. 1949), LCSM (est. 1955) and SETA (est.
1936). The absence of a SCR mark may indicate the cap is pre-merger.
As for LCSM, they say it is a brand of of high-tech capacitors for
specialized applications such as lasers, cardiac defibrillators and so
on.

Hi all
Everything seems true.
I remember the "very old" French company LCSM in the sixties.
TS means Service voltage (in French Tension de service) meaning the maximum
voltage present in use.

Yep. TS for "tension de service", which is the working voltage.
