Can you explain why oil filled capacitors must be used for capacitor run motors instead of the more economical ac electrolytic types?

Electrolytic capacitors cannot be used on an AC (alternating current) system.


When replacing 2 start capacitors 1 run capacitor and a sinpact switch in the same motor is there a certain order to connect the wires. I have the diagram does it matter which connection first?

Since you have the drawing it would be good if you connect the capacitors according to the drawings. I am saying this since you might end up swaping the start and run capacitors although the run capacitor is usually smaller then the start. However this swapping can be advantageous since it mean slightly increased running talk for the motor.


What is the correct way to wire an electric motor capacitor since the capacitor is not marked?

Motors that use capacitors are single-phase AC motors. The capacitor is used to "start-and-run" the motor. The capacitor is wired between the incoming hot service wire and the "start-and-run" terminal of the motor. The other terminal of the motor is connected to the outgoing neutral service wire. These capacitors are designed to run on AC (two DC capacitors back-to-back) so It doesn't make a difference which way round the two terminals are wired. If the case is metal it is usually grounded to the ground wire. Some motor "start and run" capacitors are plastic-cased so don't need any ground wire.


Whether film capacitors can be replaced with ceramic or mica capacitor?

Film capacitors cannot be replaced with ceramic or mica capacitors if used for analog signal processing. However, mica capacitors can be replaced with ceramic capacitors in general.


Why do capacitors leak?

Mostly the leakage of capacitors is due to the resistor.

What capacitors are used in ceiling fan?

A capacitor add torque to an electric motor that is designed to use them, they are called PSC or permanent split capacitor type motors. the capacitors terminals go to the Run and Start windings.

Are capacitors polarity sensitive?

The capacitors those are polarity sensitive are called electrolytic and tantalum capacitors. These capacitors are labeled as positive and negative.


Is it really possible to avoid reactive power in electrical circuit?

yesAnswerNo, but you can counter its effects. For example, if your load is inductive, then you can counter the effects of its inductive reactance by introducing capacitors with equal capacitive reactance.
