[QUOTE="stuboy, post: 554056, member: 33489"] Yep as long as you got an ac mains capacitor of the correct rating u r good to go. If a cap shows only one value without a plus and minus percentage then the value stated should be a minimum value. Capacitors can have really quite wide tolerance values compared to say resistors. The Starter cap is basically to get the motor running in the first place by causing a phase shift in the AC waveform causing magnetic flux to build up in one direction in the stator thus getting the rotor to start spinning. :-) Cheers Stuart [/QUOTE]
