How do you connect a trimmer capacitor?

Trimmer capacitors are used to calibrate (trim) the capacitance in a circuit. They are connected in parallel with some other capacitor, and the circuit is calibrated by observation of response to known stimuli. Since trimmer capacitors are often used in RF circuits, it is generally not possible to make measurement of the capacitors out of circuit because parasitic capacitance at RF is not negligible. Additional question received on April 6th: "I have a 3 terminal trim cap; 2 terminals read continuity, the other not. My question is how do I connect this in a circuit?" In all probability, the two terminals that read continuity are the same terminal, and are simply provided to give three point mechanical stability when soldered into a circuit. You would connect the two terminals that do not have continuity, using either of the terminals that do have continuity, across the capacitor that needed to be "trimmed".


How do you test a Compressor if good on HVAC unit?

With an ohm-meter. Check for continuity in the RUN and START windings, and also from the terminals to compressor case for shorting. There should be continuity in the windings and no continuity from windings to compressor case.


What is insulation resistance in capacitor?

ideally there will not be any resistance to the capacitor,so at this condition it should not not discharge the stored energy. but practically small resistance will be there in the capacitor so the energy stored by the capacitor will be discharged through resistance.


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 happens when a start capacitor fails?

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.


Will a bad capacitor cause your fan and compressor not to work?

Yes, but usually one side of the capacitor will completely go out. Either the fan or compressor will not work. First look at the capacitor. Usually they swell and the cylinder shape becomes rounded on the bottom or top. If you know how to work a meter, disconnect the leads on the capacitor and check for continuity (ohms). Put one lead on the Common and the other or Herm then move it to fan. Look for a rise and fall in ohms. If its bad, continuity will be lost on either side. Depends on what you are trying to repair, fan or compressor.


What does the continuity of capacitor voltage mean?

It might mean that the voltage across a capacitor cannot change instantanteously because that would demand an infinite current. The current in a capacitor is C.dV/dt so with a finite current dV/dt must be finite and therefore the voltage cannot have a discontinuity.

Which Capacitor should be connected in one direction?

The electrolytic capacitor should be connected in only one direction.


Should a closed switch have continuity?

NO


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.

its only three different so.......it should work! i think...


What does the volt on a capacitor mean?

the voltage number on the capacitor indicates that the capacitor can with stand to that particular voltage across it.generally during design, the value of capacitor will be selected in such a way that this voltage rating should be double than what really we get in the circuit


What should be the value of capacitor at transistor amplifier circuit input?

at full input, if the transistor is working, the value of capacitor will be 0.
