Re: Biggie size that Capacitor.?

Bigger caps will give you less ripple, normally the bigger the
better, but with permissible line variations of up to 10% and motor
back EMF, 75V working is too close for comfort IMO. You can always
put another 12000uF in parallel if you find the ripple is excessive.
