I hate it when a start capacitor (the alum foil type) blows up like a party popper.
Questions:
Have you replaced equivalent rating for capacitance and voltage?
Or do increase voltage rating, say 250VAC to 330VAC?
Who is a good source for them. I don't entirely trust on-line credit card transactions.
In my motor operating book the installation section says that a motor is not to remain in stock for more than 2 years before the start capacitors have to be replaced. So I wonder if all the old start capacitors in surplus stores are any good, or do they just need to be formed.
