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.

How can you determine a busted capacitor?
There have been a few errors in recent years with capacitors that go bust from normal use. These are most often leaking electrolytic fluid from a crack at the top or the bottom. This fluid is most often drying up and leaves a dark brownish crystalline compound on and around capacitor. Some other capacitors are just bulging upwards on top and give no signs apart from this. A healthy capacitor has got no visual deformities. If in doubt about a certain capacitor then de-solder it and test it in a multimeter that can measure its capacitance.
Will voltage drop across a capacitor?
basically a capacitor will charge to the input DC level however it will mathematically never happen since capacitors charge at a certain rate the voltage drop across a capacitor will follow the R C time constant or 63% of the applied voltage for a unit time.AnswerIn the case of an a.c. supply, yes, there will be a voltage drop across a capacitor. In the case of an 'ideal' capacitor, this will be the product of the load current and the capacitive reactance of the capacitor.
What is the advantage of using 2 or more capacitors in parallel in circuits instead of one larger capacitor?
When capacitors are connected in parallel, you add up their capacitances to obtain the overall capacitance of that 'bank'. The main reason for using two capacitors in parallel when decoupling, is that they have a lower overall inductance (electrical resistance in essence) to one large capacitor, which improves the decoupling effect. Using two capacitors also provides better high-frequency filtering for the power bus. One minor advantage of this, is that, you can obtain a certain redundancy when using two smaller capacitors in parallel, instead of only one, as if one capacitor fails, the other still acts to decouple the circuit, to a certain extent.

Why you install capacitor bank in electrical room?
Capacitor banks are installed in the electrical room to improve the power factor which is related to the inductive load caused by motors etc . The capacitors create a capacitive load which subtracts against the inductive load thereby improving the power factor. Most power utilities have penalties when your power factor drops below a certain value.
How do you discharge high dc voltage capacitor?
When a capacitor is powered off in an energized circuit, the capacitor still stores a certain amount of electricity. When there are other loads or components in the circuit, they will slowly discharge, or they can be quickly discharged by short-circuiting with small resistors or wires (at low voltage). When the capacitor discharges, the two poles of the capacitor respectively carry a certain amount of charge, and the outside world and the capacitor form a closed loop (generally, the closed loop does not include a power supply). The excess electrons (negative charges) approach the positive electrode of the capacitor to form a current, so that the charges at both ends of the capacitor are neutralized. When the neutralization is completed, the electric field between the two electrodes of the capacitor disappears. However, this is in an ideal situation. The amount of terminal charge is exponentially neutralized towards zero, but not zero. Discharge requirements of capacitors After the capacitor is disconnected from the bus, it must be discharged through a discharge resistor or a special voltage transformer. Discharge should be performed between the lead wires of the capacitor and between the lead wires and the casing. The capacitor can be grounded after the capacitor is discharged. Before working on the capacitor, be sure to conduct a test discharge. This discharge is to place the discharge rod on the terminal of the lead wire of the capacitor for a period of time. Even if both sides of the capacitor device are grounded, in order to prevent residual charge on the capacitor, a test discharge must be performed, and each group of capacitors connected in parallel must be discharged. Special care should be taken when conducting inspection discharge of capacitors removed due to faults. Due to the damaged capacitor, the general grounding device may not function as a ground discharge due to a partial disconnection. If the capacitor device has an interlock device, it should be considered that only after the entire device is grounded, the small door of the capacitor bank protective fence can be opened.

Is there a single phase capacitor?
All capacitors fundamentally have two sides or "connections" so that any single capacitor will have two terminals. That is true whether capacitors are used in single phase (using one or more capacitors), or in three phase power (same number of discrete capacitors on each phase). The packaging of capacitors is mostly as "singles" having just two connecting wires or terminals, but certain applications - such as three-phase motor speed controllers - often use "blocks" of three or more capacitors, packaged together into one "body" or "casing". Those "capacitor blocks" have four or more connecting wires or terminals.

How do you vary the temperature of a capacitor?
A capacitor is rated to operate in a certain temperature range. It is not designed to operate as a variable temperature device. The temperature of a capacitor depends primarily on the ambient operating temperature around it plus the frequency of operation (no of charge / discharge per second). Normal electrolytic capacitors used in consumer electronics are rated from 85 degrees Celsius to 105 degrees Celsius.

Why a capacitor is used in full wave bridge rectifier and I am not talking about the filter capacitor?
If you want an answer from an alter kocker (yiddish for "old fart" since we were still studying VACUUM TUBES when I took my degree in the subject, for goodness sake!), I would have to see the circuit diagram to be certain, but I have seen capacitors used as "ticklers" to ensure quick and full conduction of the rectifiers, and to cut out RF interference.
How do you know if a capacitor is good or not?
You test it.For electrolytic capacitors, it's sometimes (but not always) obvious simply by looking at it that there is a problem; if the capacitor bulges or is actually ruptured, that's a pretty good indication that it might be bad. However, the only way to know for certain is to check it to see if it has the proper capacitance.For various reasons it's difficult to test the capacitance of a capacitor which is in a circuit; you'll usually need to detach it and test it in isolation. It is possible to check the equivalent series resistance of a capacitor without removing it from the circuit, and in some cases this may be enough (a correct ESR doesn't necessarily mean the capacitor is good, but an incorrect one means that it's bad).
How do you fix the run capacitor on a ceiling fan?
Be certain to observe the exact same polarity as the old one. A capacitor does have plus and minus leads. Should an old defective ceiling fan transformer be replaced by a capacitor?
What is the use of harmonic filter in capacitor bank?
harmonic filter capacitor is used to filterize the unwanted heat created by a certain component like power supply. harmonics are voltage or currents that operates a certain frequency. john
Can you use a capacitor instead of zener diode in biased clipping circuit?
No. The purpose of the zener diode is to clip (turn on) at a certain voltage. A capacitor will not exhibit this behavior.
