How to test a air conditioner capacitor?

An air conditioner capacitor is used to continuously adjust current or phase shift to a motor’s windings in an effort to optimise the motors torque and efficiency performance. Most electric motor run cap applications use a rating of 2.5-100 uf (microfarads) capacitance and voltages of 370 or 440. 1.Dis-connect power to test air conditioner capacitor Start by making the motor safe to test by disconnecting power. Ideally, the unit should be...
