Hi guys, what's a suitable replacement for this Jensen cap? They stopped production back in 2019.
I'm not sure of the function of this giant cap but it is for a welding power supply card.

How do you know it's bad?  My TIG welder (Miller Synchro brand)  is from 1983 and still has its original capacitors.

Not sure if this helps. That is likely a really large capacitor. Testing if it is good, using a Blue ESR meter or simiare Dick Smith design is a quick test equipment tool. can also test in-circuit.


kinda sorta related? questions regarding using different type of caps? over at
