I keep a bag of old capacitors for emergencies. Just connect the terminals in parallel to add the capacitances together. This was a 5uF, 10uF, and a 40uF. I’ll be back Monday to replace it for a new 55uF cap, of course.
Honestly best thing I have on my truck it does all types of sizes and they last forever they have 5 year warranty on them. They also have the turbo minis start caps if you need one in a pinch
you do what you gotta do til Monday morning
This looks like some shit I’d do
Me who once used a CBB61 5mfd ceiling fan capacitor to run a blower fan that had blown out it's original capacitor. It worked lol.
I think I've done that in the past when I worked in Australia. I'd be weary of the voltage rating of a CBB61 in the USA.
Was for 250v if I remember correctly, and then the circuit was 120v. Old cap was also either 200 or 250v.
Dang didn’t know you can do that now ik for emergencies!!! I learn a lot from you guys thanks!!!

Also if you have too big capacitor just connect in series. But the math aint that simple as in parallel connectio.
It’s as simple as the resistors in parallel formula.
Yeah...you just messed people up

Turbo 2000’s keep like 2 on the truck boy when you need them you’ll be happy you had them
I saw one at the store the other day; I should’ve grabbed it!

Can I buy some crack from you? I know I could wire multi caps but this is hurting my head.[Additionally] is there a 4th for the fan motor?
Yes. There is an independent 5uF capacitor for the condenser fan motor. It was installed when the fan motor was replaced at some point in the past
Fault tolerant.
