Can you replace 1.7 microFarad capacitor with 2 microFarad capacitor of capacitor start motor?

It should work okay as long as voltage rating is equal to or greater than the capacitor you are replacing.


What is the diffence between a motor run capacitor and a lighting capacitor?

The main difference is that lighting caps are required to contain a bleed resistor in parallel across the cap s terminals to drain the high voltage contained in the capacitor to safe levels (usually within a minute or so) after the equipment is switched off. Motor run caps don't require bleed resistors due to them being constantly connected to the motor windings which act like a resistor to drain the capacitor after use.


What is run capacitor in single phase motor starter with three wire?

A run capacitor and a starter capacitor are not the same thing. A run capacitor is energized the entire time the motor is running, and a start capacitor is not. A run capacitor is one that changes the current on the windings of a single phase AC induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field to energize a second-phase winding. A start capacitor increases starting torque, allowing a motor to be turned on rapidly. It stays in the circuit only long enough to bring the motor to 3/4 of full speed. Some motors then continue to run with a run capacitor.


If the vent is below the drain is this an s trap if the drain turns up before the fixture with space between trap?

An S trap would go through the floor. A P trap goes through the wall. As long as the drain is below the bottom of the sink, it should drain. Distance between the bottom of the sink, the trap and the drain does not matter, it just changes how much water stay in the drain. Normally it is just in the trap, but it can be above the trap if circumstances cause the trap to be lower than usual.


How long will it take to fully charge a capacitor in a series RC ciRCuit with a 6microfarad capacitor 2Kilohm resistor and 141 volt supply?

The time it takes to fully charge a capacitor depends on the capacitance and resistance of the circuit; the voltage is irrelevant. The equation you need is:t = 5RCwhere: t = time in seconds, R= resistance in ohms, and C =capacitance in farads.So you should now be able to calculate the time for yourself, but remember to convert the resistance into ohms and the capacitance into farads before you insert the figures into the equation.

Why should you discharge the capacitor before measuring the capacitance?

If you don't it could fry your equipment. A capacitor can hold a charge for anextremely long time even years depending on the physical size and capacitance. It can hold a strong enough charge to kill.


Can you replace a 470uf 10v capacitor with a 470 25v 105c high temp radial leads capacitor for a digital tv converter box?

Yes, as long as there is room to mount the larger capacitor. A better replacement might be a 470uF 16v capacitor, which should be smaller than the 25v cap. If necessary, insulating tubing can be put on the leads & the cap can be mounted off the board, or at an angle to the board. Remember to observe polarity when connecting the capacitor leads to the board. Note the orientation & markings on the old capacitor before unsoldering it.

Is a power factor capacitor different from a regular capacitor?

A power factor capacitor is a power capacitor. I'm not sure what you mean by "regular". There are different types, made from different materials that have better/worse characteristics than others depending on the application. You could use any high power capacitor for power factor correction, as long as it is sized correctly for the load and voltage.

Why do the lights drain the battery on the Honda 400ex?

The head lights are the biggest long term drain on your battery. (The starter is a heavier drain, but you can't leave it on for very long.)


How long has calpurnia been working for the finch family?

What would be the physical size of a 1 farad capacitor?

When used in car audio applications, a 1 farad capacitor is usually about 6" long and about 2.5-3" in diameter.


What happens when a capacitor connected across a battery for a long time?

For a long time, The capacitor will be charged to the voltage of the DC battery, the positive side of the capacitor touching the positive terminal of the battery. Not much DC current will conduct, except for some tiny leakage current due to imperfection of the cap. The battery will be drained eventually.
