Carrier Oval Capacitor, 10/10 MFD, 370V

hello in this video we're going to be discussing the voltage rating of your capacitor specific questions that we're going to be looking at are what is the voltage reading mean and can you or should you change the voltage rating of your capacitor when you replace it for the first question very simply the voltage rating often abbreviated BAC and your capacitor simply stands for the maximum amount of voltage that you can apply to your capacitor without shorting it out so let's take a second to develop that theme a little bit further and as an analogy I have a piece of eight two wire here now eight to R means you have one conduit but two eight gauge wires inside the conduit we also have a grounding water for our analogy purposes we're going to just ignore the grounding wire if you notice now a two wire is way too big to run for a light bulb but let's just for analogy sake say we're going to
