text: <s>[INST] 2198 - Kinetix 5500 drive capacitors issue? EDIT: corrected the title to better reflect the thread content and reduced picture size to allow better view -FL I bought 2198-H025-ERS2 recently, and this is the product I received from the distributor. The distributor doesn't know if that is normal or not and so do I. Does anyone know what causes the problem and should I return it? [/INST] Although it is hard to diagnose an issue through a picture, what this appears to be is conformal coating splatter on the capacitor. Normally when a capacitor is compromised or goes bad, either through high current or heat, it will tend to bulge, which this capacitor does not show signs of. Ken \\n </s>
