Stock These Run CAPACITOR SIZES in the Residential HVAC Service Truck! Why?!!

In this HVAC Training Video, I Show Which Run Capacitors are the Most Commonly Used When Servicing Residential Furnaces, Air Handlers, Air Conditioners, and Heat Pumps! I Explain Why and Where Each Capacitor Size is Needed and How to Make the Correct Capacitor Size Needed if You Don't Have it in order to Fix the System! Supervision is needed by a licensed HVACR Tech while performing tasks as Experience and Apprenticeship garners Wisdom and Safety.

Craig is an absolute legend in our field. Keep up the great work! 👊🏽💪🏽

[JC-scrx]

Thanks for video. One of the techs with best teaching ability in the biz IMO

[DakotaHeatingAndAir]

Thank you, I was wondering this and magically just popped up in my feed, awesome!

Run the Turbo 200s. Universal motor-run & the mini universal fan motor-run caps. Made in USA. Good warranty. Pass the cost on to end customer. Simplify stocking.

I’ve seen older lennox units blower motors using 40mfd capacitors crazy

Craig hits it out of the park --AGAIN!!!! Many thanks for the GREAT content.

[JoseRamos-mewq]

Thank you for the explanation on all these capacitor all your videos are very helpful

[eulaliorodriguez]

Thank you for sharing this videos. Helpful.

Formula for capacitors are: In Parallel increase capacitance C = C1 + C2, and In Series decrease capacitance 1/C = 1/C1 + 1/C2. Example 1/5 + 1/7.5 = 0.2 + = and 1 over this gives 3 MFD.

AmRad's seem to be the best caps on the market right now, made here in the states. Their "Turbo" universal dual caps are pricier, but can be wired to accomodate nearly all of the MFD ratings on motors, it eliminates the neeed to stock your truck with all of the individual dual run sizes, especially if you have a small truck/van that doesn't have a lot of room. In the event you run into a unit with an uncommon rating such as a 40/10 or a 35/7.5, as Craig said you'll be able to get the customer up and running. I also like the CPT (compressor protector terminal) feature AmRad has that works good with hard start kits, in the event the potential relay fails to take the HSK out of the circuit when the compressor starts, this feature will blow open like a fuse and save the compressor.

Question. I monitor our home's wattage with a Sense unit.
My A/C was ruining smoothly, ie. the wattage was flat and smooth and unwavering.
The capacitor failed, and a the tech replaced it and the A/C runs again.
However I noticed the Wattage meter is reading a fluctuation in current then the A/C is running now.
It fluctuates as much as 1, 100 watts now.
The tech came back out to check with amp meter and said it was within specs.
Is this an issue? What would cause this, wrong sized capacitor?
Thanks.

I had a similar issue, my HVAC tech installed a 55/5, but after some research I found it should have been 50/7.5, everything seems to be working fine even after a couple of years, but my capacitor just went out the other day so I got this new one and replaced it with the correct one, want to see how long this one lasts?!

For you homeowners watching, every spring, test the capacitors in the condenser and furnace and keep one of each your system uses on the shelf Change the filters every two months, clean the condenser coil every spring, keep plants away from the condenser, install a 5-2-1 hard start kit in the condenser and a surge protector on the disconnect switch. If you do these things, you may never need a service call.

[zebiosogliani]

also, remember the relationship to know how the power of the capacitor affects the changes in voltage or frequency of the nominal design. Q1/V1=Q2/V2.

[cabbagesoup]

I’m curious too which brand you think is the best or last the longest?

[cjonesify]

Can I use a dual run in place of my single run on my air handler?

[bchrisl]

The capacitor reactance[ohms] is figured
or 1/(377*farads)
Microfarads is Farads*10^-6.

i.e. 5mf capacitor = ohms Xc
so if you connect a 5mf capacitor across a 120V 60Hz AC source, it will draw 230ma
120V/530ohm=.230amp. Since the current and voltage are out of phase, it will consume no power…therefore 120V*.230A or 27.6VA.

Craig what causes a sweaty blower cage. I see water drops and condensation underneath the snail.

[coreyturner]

Do not use titan caps what so ever. Unless you want to go back and change them every single year. Mars premium caps or turbo 200s. That’s all I’ll ever use. If I even see a titan I change it out because there fail rate is that bad.

[zebiosogliani]

excellent video and class. Please in the next video, Can you explain the relationship between amp vs pressure?
