DESCRIPTION:

Capacitors give an extra boost to electrical motors when starting under a load condition. The capacitor attaches to the motor's electrical circuit through two metal terminals at the top of the cylindrical device. You can think of the capacitor as a short-term storage battery. Testing the capacitor for problems is generally done when the motor has difficulty starting. A good indication of a bad capacitor is when the motors fails to rotate and a humming noise is heard. The best method for testing a capacitor is by using an ohmmeter.
