Does it matter if you change a compactior (start) with a run compactior?
I have gone into to the supplier to find only run compactiors, and I would like to know does it matter.
Thank You

need more details... What are you trying to do....
Yes, it does matter. They are not the same.
We usually dicuss technical topics in the pro residential forum.
Pros should post their technical questions there, or in pro commercial, as is appropriate.
Start caps and run caps might seem like they are similar, but they are very different. If you swap them around you might end up damaging a motor.
Is 'compacitor' what you do to repair a swelled capacitor? Do you use a capacitor compactor?
I even googled it and couldn't find out what a compacitor is!Quote:

Has anyone noticed a pattern in the types of capacitors that are failing prematurely? I changed a 60 MFD @370 run capacitor on a compressor 4 ton. It was drawing 21.7 amps. With new capacitor the amp draw dropped to 14.1. In the last 10 years I have changed 5 times as many capacitors as I did in the 90's.
It's just like everything else, made cheaper to keep the share holders wallets fat.
That's funny. Just the idea of a shareholder with a "fat wallet."
I think you should be on Leno.
well so much for a kickstart t05 airexcellencestl.com
Never seen leno, just facing the facts. Even the almighty trane has been outsourced to China and skimped to the point that its like the rest of the garbage. I'll leave the politics to leno... Just want a good product that will last and is worth the cost and capacitors doesn't fall in that slim category.
That's because the corect spelling is compacitiorQuote:
