The dual capacitor for the condenser fan and compressor needs to be replaced. The specs on the capacitor from EUN SUNG IND shows 45/12 uF 370 VAC. The specs on my non-heatpump unit is from GE and shows 12/50 uF 330VAC. The part number in the Carrier manual identify the condenser for both units as a 10-50061-00.
Am I correct to believe that the 12 uF is for the fan and the 45 and 50 are for the compressor? I have not been able to locate direct replacements for either of these. I know just enough about this stuff to be dangerous.
So I have a few questions: Can I use either a 370V or 440V capacitor for replacement? From what I have read this substitution is OK. Now the second part. Can 2 capacitors be used? Like one for the fan of say a 12.5 uF 440V and 45 uF 440V or 50 uF 440V for the compressor? ie is it ok to go up a little in the MFD?
