Electronic part

I could do it but you can too. Just plug in the size and DCWV into a search engine and sit back and see what happens. Should provide you with your answer. Then check the application for what shows up and get one that is suitable.

Allied Electronics has a pretty good selection. Beyond that, as Texasmark1 said, do a search for the specific one you need and see what comes up.

As the others said. I would add that sometimes there is a LOT of money to be saved by checking ebay.
 
You just need it to look the same round or kinda square and voltage and Uf. amount. In all of the electrical stuff I have worked on you find that a "cap" is one of the weakest links. They are a little very high speed battery. They are made of tin foil, wax paper, and a little oil. The wax paper might loose the insulation effect or the tin foil will get a tiny hole burn through it. Check out a welding supply place, motor repair, or a large HVAC supply place. Big AC systems use some big a$$ caps. You need the same voltage but you can increase the Uf. amount. If it says 10Uf you can go to 12 or 14 no problem. Fun fun. Jeffcat
 
Ebay is where I got a capacitor at a good price. Check around, amazon, Grangers, AC supply house. Prices are all over the place.
 
I'd have to disagree on that. It has been my experience that you can run a higher voltage rating than the original, but you best not vary the capacitance. Undervoltage won't be good, either.
 
Mouser electronics. Reasonable on cost and shipping.

I would not buy new electronic parts on ebay as there are a lot of fake and poorly made parts. An actual electronics parts house such as Mouser or Newark will have the real stuff.
 
Most every thing in my Mouser and Newark catalogs is for the electronics guy, not the power line folks. GE would be a place to look.
 
If you are using it for "power factor correction", to offset the phase shift of your voltage to current caused by a high inductive load,
then yes it will matter. To effect a unity PF (PF = 1 and VA = watts and the power company gets paid for all the electric power you
use) the reactive circuit has to look like a resistor and the only way that happens is if the inductive and capacitive reactances are
equal. Changing the value of one will change the Xc or Xl (depending on whether you change the value of the C or L) and that will
cause some phase shift and a PF less than 1. If the power co. finds about low PFs they will get mad at you and may force you to
correct it or loose your meter. On a welder, I don't know why else you would use one. You surely don't need one for the fan. Ha!

Around here the lowest they tolerate is 0.8.

Def of PF is: V x A x Cosine of the angular difference. When in phase Cos of zero degrees is unity (1).

High torque motors are usually the culprit causing the current to lag the voltage.....ELI the ICE man.....little riddle that helps you
remember which does what.
