The air conditioning work in 230 volt why the compressor use capacitors of 370 and 440 volts if he only need mfd to start?

An AC capacitor is composed of two DC capacitors with the foil ends (-) connected together and the center ends (+) connected to the outside. There are variations to the connections. Each capacitor has to have the voltage rating required by the application -- and there are two capacitors in series in an AC capacitor. A 230V AC capacitor, depending on manufacturing design standard, may not be suitable for starting a 230V air conditioner.

Should the capacitors used in electronic circuits have a minimum voltage rating of 25 volts?
Capacitors used in electronic circuits need not have a minimum voltage rating of 25 volts. Electronic circuits powered by batteries at 12 volts and below should work fine with capacitors rated at 15 volts.
What could cause the outside fan not to work on a central air conditioner?
There are three main parts to an air conditioning unit. You could have a bad capacitor. AC units have fairly large capacitors that are required for the motor to start. That is the most likely point of failure. Otherwise, your compressor could have gone bad. Lastly, your fan motor could have gone bad.
Can you double the volts by connecting two capacitors?
Two capacitors can be connected in series to double the voltage rating, but they must be identical capacitors and they should each have a resistor in parallel to equalise the voltages, the resistors chosen to pass about 1 mA. With two capacitors in series the overall capacitance is half the capacitance of either capacitor. The combination stores equal charge at double the voltage and the stored energy is doubled.
If a 240 volt system is only drawing 12 volts what is the probably wrong?
Compressor locked
I need To connect a compressor to a car battery for a project and the compressor requires 110 volts 8 amps is that possible in anyway?
It is possible in theory. Your car battery produces 12v DC. Your compressor requires 110v AC. You can use an inverter to convert your 12v DC into 110v AC. But the real question is how long will your battery last? Does the battery even have sufficient stored energy to start up the compressor in the 1st place? A draw of 8 amps at 110v is a lot...

How to calculate capacitors of 120uf and charge 2.4V?
Your question doesn't makes sense, as charge isn't measured in volts.
500 volts rms is equivalent to what dc voltage level?
it will be no DC not unless diodes and capacitors are applied. rephrase the question
What is wrong with the ac no 12 volts to the compressor on 1996 lhs?
Fuse? Relay? Switch?
What powers the AC relay to turn on AC compressor?
For residential equipment it is 24 volts
Is A CRT Really Dangerous?
YES, on the inside there are capacitors that hold thousands of volts. A crt monitor could easily kill a human.
Can you convert a 3 phase air compressor to 240 volts?
only way to convert from 3 phase to 240 would be to change the electric motor on the compressor
How many volts does it take to run a ac compressor on a 2002 e320 Mercedes?
First of all, the compressor is not electric so voltage is not used to run it. The compressor is run by a pulley which is driven by the engine via a fan belt. There are some electrical components in the air conditioning system that are electric such as the fan clutch, the condenser blower (unless it's attached to the engine directly), the blower in the firewall that moves the cool air through the dashboard vents, and in this particular car, the electronic controls that regulate temperature and fan speed. Those components, like all other electric components in a car, are 12 volts.
15000 BTU RV Conditioning is how many Watts?
approximately 1440 watts. Or a 12 amp draw @120 volts ac. Older units will draw more current. This is the draw after start up.
Are all air conditioning units made to run on 220-240 volts?
No, there are some window units that use 120 volts and are plugged into the nearest wall receptacle.
