[QUOTE="wayne, post: 554048, member: 37799"] Hi all 👋🏻 I’m recently replaced a motor start capacitor for a refrigerant compressor on a ground source heating system. The previous item failed, I have since replaced it and the system is working fine. But it wasn’t like for like. The original capacitor was 145-174uF but the item I replaced it with was 150uF. Essentially I needed to get the system running and reinstate the heating to the property. Could anyone tell me if the capacitor I’ve used is sufficient, or should I order a like for like part? I’m unsure what significance the 145-174uF range of the old capacitor holds? The start package consists of a start relay, start capacitor, run capacitor and soft start module. Any help would be greatly appreciated 😊 Cheers Wayne [/QUOTE]
