motor run caps

HI,

Why some of motor run cps have 3 pins instead of just 2?

thanks.

It's possible there are two different caps in the same can.

See if there is more than one value printed on the cover.

It's a dual cap, the smaller rating for the condensor fan and the other for the compressor motor.

For HVAC uses that is (most commonly).

Edit: BTW, I sure hope you aren't "rubbing" the motor with these, motors get hot!
