View Full Version : Motor Run Capacitor

The manufacturer of the Capacitor I'm replacing says I need 25 Micro Farad ( μF) and no less than 400 Vac.
The maker of the motor is unwilling to talk about it.

I have found a capacitor that is rated at 22.5uF 550V
(It's a high velocity blower fan - not real big)
I haven't a clue if the μF delta of 2.5 and the voltage delta of 100 Vac will matter.


Any ideas input ~????

No problem. That cap will work fine. Actually, a wide range of capacitance will work fine. And the higher voltage rating is a good thing.

Don't forget to check physical size (and shape), if that matters to the installation.
