It's the last letter - MFD is an abbreviation for microfarad - a unit of electrical capacitance named after Michael Faraday.
CommentIt's worth pointing out that MFD is completely obsolete. The SI symbol is the Greek letter, mu, followed without a space by an upper-case F.
microfarads
MFD is a long-obsolete symbol for microfarads. The modern symbol is the Greek letter, mu, followed without a gap by an upper-case F.
It's a long-obsolete symbol for microfarad. It also appears capitalised, MFD.
Farad is the basic unit for capacitance. The MFD is an abbreviation for microfarad, which is one-millionth of a farad. The capacitance of a 50 MFD capacitor is one 50 millionth of a farad.
Yes, 100 MFD and 80 MFD capacitors will work in parallel, assuming they have the same voltage rating. The net capacitance will be 180 MFD.
Yes, we can replace it
Capacitors in series are like resistors in parallel.CSERIES = C1 C2 / ( C1 + C2 )Plug 22 and 45 into that equation and you get about 15 microfarads.
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.

usually yes. what is it being used for?
It is a rating that is used to size capacitors in microfarad. MFD is an acronym for the word microfarad.
yes mfd is short for microfarad
