What else can I help you with?
Is a 45 5 Uf capacitor the same as a 45 5 mfd?
yes mfd is short for microfarad
Can a capacitor be gradually charged by lesser capacitors?
A: SURE capacitors in parallel will share the charge. But don't expect a .0001 mfd capacitor to charge a 1000 mfd capacitor. It just does not have the power stored to effectively charge the 1000 mfd. EXAMPLE 1litter of water cannot fill up a 5 litter container
What is the basic shape of a start capacitor?
If you mean run capacitor, as in the run capacitor for an AC motor, it is usually a round or oval cylinder.
What are mfd ratings?
It is a rating that is used to size capacitors in microfarad. MFD is an acronym for the word 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 a 5 mfd capacitor be used in place of a 7.5 mfd capacitor?
Sometimes. The exception is when the capacitor is used as a "timing" device. But 7.5 mfd and 5 mfd are so large that one would guess that they are not being used as timing devices.

Is 24.0 mfd a good test reading for a 24.5 mfd run capacitor with a multimeter?
That would depend on the tolerance of the capacitor. As the measured value is only about 2% below nominal and most capacitors have 10% or 20% tolerance it should be fine. However if it was a precision capacitor with for example 1% tolerance it would be bad.

Can you replace a motor capacitor that has a low MFD with one that is a little higher?
You can get away with a 30% or so larger capacitor.
What is happening if use 2.50 mfd as alternate of 3.15 mfd Capacitor in Electric Fan?
Using a 2.50 mfd capacitor instead of a 3.15 mfd capacitor in an electric fan may result in a slight change in the operating performance of the fan. The fan may have a different speed or torque characteristics, which may lead to variations in how it operates. It is generally recommended to use the manufacturer's specified capacitor to ensure optimal performance.
In an electric motor can you replace a start capacitor with 300 MFD with one with 600 MFD?
Capacitor values can vary by 30% or so, but not double. The larger cap would draw too much current, possibly overheating.
What does mfd stand for?
It's a long-obsolete symbol for microfarad. It also appears capitalised, MFD.
What does MFD stand for on a furnace label?
microfarads
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.
Can you use a 100 mfd in place of a 60 mfd capacitor?
Capacitor values in certain applications can be very forgiving and in others quite critical. In power filtering for example you might be able to get away with the higher value. As long as the larger capacitor has the same or higher voltage rating you can give it a shot provided you understand that by doing so either it won't work or make harm your device.
