Capacitors are meant to hold electrons on one plate (and repel electrons from the other) while NOT passing a current between the plates. If current is allowed to pass between the plates than the capacitor has failed. A capacitor is made up of two isolated plates held apart by a non-conductive material (usually oils). If the oil has been broken down or exposed to a significantly large voltage, electrons will begin to jump the gap between the two plates. At this point the capacitor has failed.
There is a maximum of +10% tolerance in microfarad rating on replacement start capacitors, but exact run capacitors must be replaced. Voltage rating must always be the same or greater than original capacitor whether it is a start or run capacitor.Always consult manufacturers to verify correct capacitor size for the particular application. Capacitors contain two metal plates insulated from each other (See Figure 1).he sizing is critical to motor efficiency just as sizing of batteries is critical to a radio. A radio that requires a 9V battery will not work with a 1.5V size battery. Thus, as the battery becomes weaker the radio will not play properly. A motor that requires a 7.5 mfd capacitor will not work with a 4.0 mfd capacitor.
