Is a 45 5 Uf capacitor the same as a 45 5 mfd?

yes mfd is short for microfarad


Can a 3 pole c herm fan capacitor be used to replace a 2 pole capacitor on a home air unit if the mf's and voltage are the same?

I am going to assume that the capacitor in question has one uf or mfd rating and the one you want to use has two such as: 30+7.5uf if so then yet as long as you hook to the terminals that supply the same uf as the oem capacitor. The terminal marked HERM will be the terminal that has the highest of the two uf ratings. hope this helps!!


Can you use a higher voltage rating capacitor with the same uf rating?

Yes, it will work fine. The downside is that it might cost more than one of the lower voltage rating, or that it might be physically larger. A capacitor voltage rating is a maximum, so any lower voltage is also acceptable.


A 1000 uF capacitor hold 9.2 coulombs of charge what is the voltage on the capacitor?

9200 volts my 1000 uF capacitor only holds 10 volts


What does uF mean?

uF is a measurment in electronics called Microfarad. You will typically see uF on Capacitors for example 400Volt 150uf would be a capacitor rated at 400 volts and 150 microfarad.

Can a 10V 680 uF be replaced with a 16V 680 uF capacitor?

Yes, higher volt but not lower.Capacitance should the same.


What does a capacitance meter do?

A capacitor meter measures the value of a capacitor in pf (picofarads), nf (nanofarads), uf (microfarads) or even farads. There are a million uf in a farad, 1000 nf in a uf, and 1000 pf in a nf. A farad is a very large amount of capacity. The capacity tells you how much energy the capacitor can store from a voltage source.


How do you check 220 volt single phase capacitor start capacitor run motor?

Start capacitors and run capacitors are two different types of capacitors. They alter the current to create a rotating magnetic field. They have two or three terminals to which the wires are attached.
