This cap came out of my air compressor when the motor refused to start with no load. It had been getting sluggish for awhile. 

My question is can I substitute any 60 mfd , 250v Cap? What do the other specs mean?



Thanks

John

John;



Any AC motor run capacitor with a 60 mfd 250VAC rating should work. 

Here is a link to a source of exactly what you have and an explanation of

all the specs.

   This is not a capacitor you would find in an

   electronics shop. AC motor run and starting

   capacitors are a special breed of cap you

   will find at a electrical equipment dealer.



   If you're not in a big hurry, you can get this

   one delivered to your door in 3-4 days for

   $13 . . .

   "Retail" on this device will probably be

   a bit higher if you don't have an account

   with a local jobber . . . but they're

   pretty common and shouldn't be hard to find.
