An open circuit, by definition, has no continuity, therefore there is no current flow. A failed capacitor in an open circuit would have absolutely no effect.

What is the differencebetween a run capacitor and start capacitor?
The run capacitor is used when the load is functional while the start capacitor is used to produce the initial torque to drive the load.
How do i size up a start capacitor?
Read the capacitor that you remove
Can you change a 440 volt 12.5 uF start capacitor with a 370 volt 12.5uF run capacitor?
There are two ways to read this: you have a burned-out run capacitor on your motor and a good start capacitor in your parts box, and you have a burned-out start capacitor and a good run capacitor. If the run capacitor's bad and you want to put the higher-voltage start cap in its place, the answer is yes. This is called derating, and the only thing it does for you is increases the lifespan of the capacitor because you're not working it as hard as it can take. If the start capacitor's bad, don't do this--they used a 440-volt capacitor in there for a reason.
Will a motor shut down if the run capacitor fails?
If a motor is running when the cap fails it will probably continue to run at much higher amp draw and most likely shut down on thermal overload. It can start with a bad cap, but in my experience it most likey wont.
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 happens when start capacitor is slightly over sized?
C=QV it doesnt depend on size.
What happens if you put a inductor instead of the capacitor at the capacitor start motor?
An inductor can be used, in principle, but it has to be the right inductance, it will waste more power than a capacitor, and the motor would rotate the opposite way.
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.
What is the capacitor for on a shallow well pump?
Most domestic well pumps have alternating current motors which either have a single combined 'start and run' capacitor or two separate capacitors, one for 'start' and the other for 'run'. If a capacitor fails the motor will either not start properly or won't run properly (or won't do either). Almost every town has an electric parts shop where you can buy new capacitors and test your old ones.
What happens when the module goes out on the 1988 Chevrolet celebrity?
What happens depends greatly on which module fails. If the engine control module (computer) fails it may cause the engine to run poorly or not at all. If the ignition module fails the engine won't start.
Can you use a run capacitor in place of a start capacitor?
No
What is the differencebetween a run capacitor and start capacitor?
The run capacitor is used when the load is functional while the start capacitor is used to produce the initial torque to drive the load.
What happen If the Centrifugal switch of a two value capacitor motor using two capacitors fails to open?
I think you over-laod and blow the capacitor
How do i size up a start capacitor?
Read the capacitor that you remove
What happens when a capacitor reaches a steady state?
when a capacitor reaches it, it acts as a battery
