Hi all. I hope someone can save my weekend. The start capacitor on my pool pump blew out this morning. The pump is wired for 230V and the capacitor is rated as 64-77MF at 250 VAC. It is a 2 1/2 HP pump.
Since it is Saturday, I can't pick up a capacitor until Monday at the earliest, but I need to keep my pool running. I have a second booster pump (125/250V 3/4 HP) that has a capacitor rated as follows 128-148MF at 125VAC.
Both of the capacitors were installed by the factory so they are appropriate for their applications.
My question: CAn I swap the 128-148MF capacitor for the 64-77MF capacitor? I believe they are equivalent. Same dimensions, same connection posts.
Please advise. Thanks
