Default Start-Run Cap Question

This cap, the two white fly leads are just joined internally, right?

It implies by the print, it’s a single cap, not dual.



Having trouble sourcing the exact same x2 without going overseas. Thinking this should do the trick, am I correct?

"Unlikely" would be my answer, but I'd be testing it out with my meter. I personally think - it's a dual, and the value is the same on both so they have not bothered to print anything else.

Buy two of those linked & wire them up as a dual. If it doesn't work, wire one up and stand back when testing!

That's a run cap for something like a small PSC motor and I'd say it's a single cap*. What's it for? Would be nice to see a circuit diagram.
Make sure there's no charge in it and ohm test with a meter (analogue would be best).

I was used to dealing with lots of them in hvac and refrig, but of course they usually had external spade terminals so I knew how they were connected . *Because you need one wire not going through a cap for a PSC motor to function.

E: Looks like they sell that brand at jaycar but they may only have the spade version I found just then

Red face Re: Start-Run Cap Question

I'd have thought that were it a dual cap it might state the value twice or say "6+6".

Anyway...

Who else hates stale projects? This has been a niggly job for months. But guess what, I foolishly referred to my database photo rather than the actual item photo. The manufacturer had sent me that image (helpfully?) when I enquired with the model details and symptoms.

I'll now post the actual image ...



So that should be an easy fix by comparison!

Can Vaso please change the thread title to “Idiot opens mouth without checking first”?

Nothing an extra wire and a few microfarads can't fix!
