In an electric motor can you replace a start capacitor with 300 MFD with one with 600 MFD?

Capacitor values can vary by 30% or so, but not double. The larger cap would draw too much current, possibly overheating.

What type and Capacity of Electric Motor is used in Printing Press?
capacitor start induction run motor
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.
Why does an old electric motor start turning in the opposite direction?
It sounds like the starting capacitor is about to give up.
What are the types of single phase ac motor?
capacitor start motor
What is a split phase motor with relay and capacitor called?
A capacitor start motor is a split phase motor that uses a capacitor in series with the start winding to cause a greater phase shift, resulting in greater starting torque. It uses a centrifugal switch to switch out the start winding and capacitor once the motor is up to speed. I assume this switch is what you're referring to as a "relay".
Can you by-pass a capacitor in an electric motor?
You can not by-pass the capacitor in an electric motor. Most are capacitor-start motors which require the capacitor to be operational in order to start. If the capacitor is not working then it will need to be replaced.
Would an electric motor start if its capacitor broke down?
No.
When an Electric motor or Generator is switched on what will make the coil turns the opposite way?
if it is a capacitor start and run motor, this is because of shorted capacitor
What type and Capacity of Electric Motor is used in Printing Press?
capacitor start induction run motor
How do you wire start and run capacitors into an electric motor?
Connect your start capacitor in series with the start winding.Connect the run capacitor in the common terminal and Line 1 of the power supply.
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.
Can i not use a capacitor on a motor equipted with the motor?
No. You won't be able to start the motor without the capacitor.
Why does an old electric motor start turning in the opposite direction?

How do you connect capacitor to a capacitor start motor?
A start capacitor is wired in series with the motor's start winding via a centrifugal start switch. The switch disconnects the capacitor and start winding once the motor has reached a pre-determined minimum speed. The motor then continues to run on its main field winding. A different design uses a "start-and-run" capacitor which remains in circuit whilst the motor is running.
What is the common application for capacitors in electric motors?
There are 2 types of capacitor including starting capacitor and running capacitor running capacitor are used to improve the power factor of motor. starting capacitor used in split phase induction motor . starting capacitor may isolate from motor,s starting winding through of centrifugal switch after getting motor 90% of it,s rated speed.
