Default Re: Help Identifying Capacitor

Yes, according to a schematic I'm looking at it's in series with a 180 ohm resistor and the heater chain....Mains Live>180 ohm>2uF>Thermistor>Lamp>UCH81>UF89>UCL82>Mains Neutral.

The 180 ohm resistor also feeds the HT rectifier.

That's for 220v operation, for 110-127volt operation the 180 ohm and the 2uF are bypassed (shorted out)
