Capacitor values in certain applications can be very forgiving and in others quite critical. In power filtering for example you might be able to get away with the higher value. As long as the larger capacitor has the same or higher voltage rating you can give it a shot provided you understand that by doing so either it won't work or make harm your device.

What is happening if use 2.50 mfd as alternate of 3.15 mfd Capacitor in Electric Fan?

Using a 2.50 mfd capacitor instead of a 3.15 mfd capacitor in an electric fan may result in a slight change in the operating performance of the fan. The fan may have a different speed or torque characteristics, which may lead to variations in how it operates. It is generally recommended to use the manufacturer's specified capacitor to ensure optimal performance.


What is the use of a 100 mfd capacitor in an arc welder?

A capacitor is a storage device like a battery it will however discharge at a rate of 63% for one RC time constant .so it is there to provide more initial force.


Can you use 45uf 440v in place of 45uf 370v capacitor?

Sure if it fits and meets other specs like operating temperature.


How many microfarad of running capacitor is best for a 1.5 hp 220volt motor?

There are many different 'run' capacitors on motors. It depends on the motor make and use. You need to consult your manual or local electric motor shop.See related links below for good information on how capacitors effect motor starting.


Can you use a run capacitor in place of a start capacitor?

No


How do you use capacitor in a sentence?

Capacitor is a noun, as in a person, place or thing. It is an electrical device. Ex: The capacitor failed and has to be replaced.


The air conditioning work in 230 volt why the compressor use capacitors of 370 and 440 volts if he only need mfd to start?

An AC capacitor is composed of two DC capacitors with the foil ends (-) connected together and the center ends (+) connected to the outside. There are variations to the connections. Each capacitor has to have the voltage rating required by the application -- and there are two capacitors in series in an AC capacitor. A 230V AC capacitor, depending on manufacturing design standard, may not be suitable for starting a 230V air conditioner.


Can a 3 pole c herm fan capacitor be used to replace a 2 pole capacitor on a home air unit if the mf's and voltage are the same?

I am going to assume that the capacitor in question has one uf or mfd rating and the one you want to use has two such as: 30+7.5uf if so then yet as long as you hook to the terminals that supply the same uf as the oem capacitor. The terminal marked HERM will be the terminal that has the highest of the two uf ratings. hope this helps!!


How do you check 220 volt single phase capacitor start capacitor run motor?

Start capacitors and run capacitors are two different types of capacitors. They alter the current to create a rotating magnetic field. They have two or three terminals to which the wires are attached.


How can I test a capacitor on an AC unit?

To test a capacitor on an AC unit, you can use a multimeter set to the capacitance setting. Disconnect the capacitor from the unit, discharge it, and then place the multimeter leads on the capacitor terminals. The reading should match the capacitance rating on the capacitor. If the reading is significantly lower, the capacitor may be faulty and in need of replacement.
