    it just means that you can measure higher values that's all, for your meter
    Has for the cap the normal rule of thumb is 1000uF per amp, I think you would find that a 24uF would not last long. or it would not remove any ripple out of it at all

    Thats what i thought. It seemed a really small value for solenoids. "1000uF per amp" thats easy to remember thanx!
