It reads okā¦ itās on a far more rigid disc material than the bullseyeā¦ but the flexNT reads better and is easier to installā¦ meh itās not all that interesting.
Reads fine but still no LED action. My fingers take a very long time to heal hematomas
Oh I donāt know if it does. I know that I never shoved anything up there that does.
That would be a freaky little thing, if our brains were bioluminescent - maybe thatās actually true and how people came up with the phrase āoh heās not so brightā - it is literal
Iām replacing a start capacitor on a 1/2hp shop fan. Itās very similar to ceiling fan capacitors. I wanted to get a name brand high quality piece instead of the cheapo junk that amazon is hawking, but I canāt find any reputable suppliers that carry them.
My question is:
How do I break down / understand the numbering convention on them?
For ex, mine is a 15uf (I got that) capacitor labeled CBB61 (???). I can only find one, in that style, in bulk chinese made quality, by googling the CB661, then selecting my capacitance, and possibly number of wires / multiple capacitance. Iāve also stumbled across CB660.
Is this some kind of package designation? Something specific to niche (fan motor) products? Any clues?
Yeah, I could just grab a metal can capacitor, but the little plastic box fits so well in there, and I donāt want it looking like junk. Plus, not knowing and not being able to figure it out is irritating me severely.
You can get one for about 6$ apiece on eBay
Itās a common model/series of start/run capacitors (metalized PP film AFAIK) often used in ceiling fans, AC and the like.
Donāt know about the name
Pretty much the same stuff Iām finding. Problem is they only last about 12-18 months, and then Iām looking for another one. Was hoping to find something in that same package / style, but made by a name brand manufacturer to decent specs.
Plus, not being able to figure out the naming convention just twists me the wrong way, ya know.
sounds like bad design or motor is out of specā¦ or the cap is heating up well over 70C on startā¦ my first suggestion is to ensure the cap is properly thermally coupled to something that can dissipate heat faster than air, but really maybe you should find a bigger capacity capā¦ I meanā¦ 5uF? Is that 5 microfarad? For a fan? Iād think it would be more like 5000uF at 450v for a motorized device at the very least? Maybe?
Mine is 15uf. Thatās just a stock photo to show what Iām talking about. Theyāre in a epoxy potted plastic box, so heat sinkinf is likely to be unavailable.
Itās a 120v fan motor. I think these are just super cheap craptastic capacitors. Hence the desire for a better cap in the same packaging.
I sometimes get that when javascript is blocked on a website on my phone. Not sure if thats the real issue but enabling it sometimes allows me to watch videos
