An AC capacitor is composed of two DC capacitors with the foil ends (-) connected together and the center ends (+) connected to the outside. There are variations to the connections. Each capacitor has to have the voltage rating required by the application -- and there are two capacitors in series in an AC capacitor. A 230V AC capacitor, depending on manufacturing design standard, may not be suitable for starting a 230V air conditioner.
For a 3450 RPM, 240 Volt, 23.5 Amp A.O. Smith K56A46B23 compressor motor, a typical run capacitor size would be around 30-35 µF, while a start capacitor might be in the range of 100-150 µF. It's important to ensure that the voltage rating of both capacitors is at least 250 volts to handle the electrical load safely. Always verify the specific requirements in the motor's manual or consult with a professional for precise specifications.
Two capacitors can be connected in series to double the voltage rating, but they must be identical capacitors and they should each have a resistor in parallel to equalise the voltages, the resistors chosen to pass about 1 mA. With two capacitors in series the overall capacitance is half the capacitance of either capacitor. The combination stores equal charge at double the voltage and the stored energy is doubled.
Capacitors used in electronic circuits need not have a minimum voltage rating of 25 volts. Electronic circuits powered by batteries at 12 volts and below should work fine with capacitors rated at 15 volts.
It depends on the compressor's total wattage. Watts = Amps x Volts. Find these values from the nameplate on the compressor. As the device is a motor extra current has to be available for the motor starting current. When you find your answer in watts allow another 150% for starting current.
Yes. Or the motor has just burnt out! If there is no burnt smell from the motor's windings and you know the power supply to the fan is good, it is worth replacing the capacitor with an identical one. NOTE: It must not be a polarised electrolytic type, it must be non-polarised and rated at the peak mains supply voltage or higher. Such capacitors are usually sold as "AC Motor Start" or "AC Motor Run" capacitors. For a 120 Volts motor use a capacitor rated to operate at 170 Volts peak. Usually these are manufactured to handle at least 200 Volts Peak AC . For a 240 Volts motor use a capacitor rated to operate at 340 Volts peak. Usually these are manufactured to handle at least 400 Volts Peak AC. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

Your question doesn't makes sense, as charge isn't measured in volts.
it will be no DC not unless diodes and capacitors are applied. rephrase the question
Fuse? Relay? Switch?
For residential equipment it is 24 volts
YES, on the inside there are capacitors that hold thousands of volts. A crt monitor could easily kill a human.
only way to convert from 3 phase to 240 would be to change the electric motor on the compressor
First of all, the compressor is not electric so voltage is not used to run it. The compressor is run by a pulley which is driven by the engine via a fan belt. There are some electrical components in the air conditioning system that are electric such as the fan clutch, the condenser blower (unless it's attached to the engine directly), the blower in the firewall that moves the cool air through the dashboard vents, and in this particular car, the electronic controls that regulate temperature and fan speed. Those components, like all other electric components in a car, are 12 volts.
approximately 1440 watts. Or a 12 amp draw @120 volts ac. Older units will draw more current. This is the draw after start up.
The voltage requirement for the air conditioning unit model 208/230 is 208 to 230 volts.
No, there are some window units that use 120 volts and are plugged into the nearest wall receptacle.
