Hi all,
I'm looking to replace a blown capacitor in some workshop equipment.
The exact item is proving hard to replace and I was thinking of making a composite set of caps to replace.
This is not an area I am familiar with so would appreciate a sanity check.
The cap is a dual canister cap with 3 wires connecting each pole of an AC motor to ground.
Label reads:
0.1uf (x2)
0.005uf(y) + 0.005uf(y)
Delta 250v
I suspect this is a motor run capacitor, with built in noise reduction?
Although the values are a little low for a motor run cap.
I am really struggling to find an equivalent part. Would it be correct to connect a 100nf+5nf in paralel X2 and bond the grounds together?,
If so would non polarized (polypropylene) caps be appropriate in this application 0.1uf electrolytic is hard to find.
