What is a Capacitor?
A primary component of an HID lighting ballast, a capacitor is an electronic device capable of storing electrical charge.
Is a Capacitor Dangerous?
It certainly can be. In fact, it’s generally best to let a trained electrician handle any ballast repairs because of the electricity stored in the capacitor. A trained technician knows how to discharge that stored electricity safely. If you do not, don’t take it upon yourself to examine a faulty ballast.
