    Thermo fan capacitor, do I need it?

    Hey guys just wondering as I’m about to replace my thermo fan which has died after a big trip in my LS swap landcruiser. My question is I have bought the same electric thermo fan that was on the car but the wiring looks like it had bypassed any sort of capacitor or just doesn’t have one but my...

    Please help me with this Capacitor, SCR, low resistance coil problem!!

    I want to discharge capacitor in micro seconds, In order to to that I used very low resistance coil but When capacitor is discharged, SCR kinda blow up, meaning the positive & negative got connected together because of low resistance. What can we place in negative terminal to make sure that...

    Starter capacitor

    Hi all, I’m trying to repair my potato peeler and have spotted this little burned out capacitor inside. I noticed the melting in the top corner which also melted away some of the wire touching it. These capacitors I’m having trouble finding. It has the resistor at the top also. Anyone help...

    Interference Capacitor

    Doing a favour for the bosses dad this morning. He has a Bosch cooker good that's tripping his RCD. For some unknown reason his kitchen fitters have cut tiles around the hood rather than take it off, tile and refit. He's now selling the house and doesn't want to re-tile so is happy to spend a...

    Capacitor Issues

    I have a Hayward pool pump where the start cap is 161-193 uf. How can you have a range of capacitance. Hayward is an american company. so maybe it can run on 110v or 240v. (just a guess). The other issue is ceiling fan caps, now these are start/run caps and I know from past experience that you...

    Can I use a multi wire capacitor instead of a two wire in a fan??

    Hi Guys, I have a ceiling fan with a two wire 4.5 uf 250V capacitor that has gone bad (fan motor spins very slowly). I cannot find and 2 wire capacitors with this rating (closes is 3 uf) but there are some 5 wire capacitors with one of the connections of the 4.5 rating. Can I use that capacitor...

    Starter Capacitor on bandsaw

    Hi, I removed a start capacitor (burnt out) from my newly acquired bandsaw and did not take a photo of where to replace wires. Apart from the earth there is on left a brown with opposite black/red, next terminal is blue and blue, next is a white with nothing opposite. This junction box is on the...

    Help with choosing replacement capacitor

    I recently had the motor on my Delta dust collector stop working. It was setting off the breaker on the side of motor after just a few seconds of turning on. After researching I discovered the problem with this motor is commonly the run capacitor. When I opened the cover to the capacitor I...

    trying to understand 3 phase motor/capacitor installation

    I'm a qualified mechanic but always tackled small electrical jobs without incident. wonder if i can get some advice re a 60's potters wheel. it consists of : -a 220-250 volt 3 phase, c/s 50, motor -an largish oval capacitor [with a resistor between the 2 contacts] some distance away from...

    Wilo Pump Capacitor Replacement

    Hi All, new member here. I have a Wilo Gold RS50 pump fitted to a solar thermal system. I suspect the capacitor is faulty and wish to replace it. However, I cannot see the method to disconnect one of the capacitor leads (sited between the L & N connections). It is very tight and I don't want to...

    How fast should a capacitor lose it's charge?

    I've been testing some capacitors off a treadmills PCB using a 9 volt battery to charge them up, then taking voltage readings with a multimeter and watching as they discharge. Most seemed to release the 9v very slowly but one 25v 470uF capacitor leaked it away considerably faster than the rest...

    Capacitor Fail?????20 bloody characters.

    motor runs fine if i give it a push. i assume the cap in the pic is a dual start/run. only shows 1 value (4mfd) so does that mean it's 2 x 4mfd caps in the one can? assuming that.best place to get one?
