Greetings, Just joined, first post.
Capacitor blew on submersible well pump. Corrected the reason for capacitor failure. [ cycling ]
The pump is a 3/4 hp, ordered a capacitor and installed it. The pump is working fine.
Question: The new motor starting capacitor rating is 88-108 MFD, the capacitor that was in the control box rating was 86-103 UF.
I know in the event of cycling the capacitor is intended to blow instead overheating the motor.
I don't know how sensitive the ratings are, are these ratings close enough that the motor will have that protection?
I noticed the difference when installing.
Thankyou Richard
