Nice and clear explanation !

How critical is it to match the capacitor ratings to the existing motor. My
original cap is 4.5 uF, 5 uF, 5 uF. Can I get by with 4 uF, 5 uF, 5 uF or perhaps 5 uF, 5 uF, 5 uF or even 4.5 uF, 4 uF 5 uF ?

As you might guess I'm having trouble finding the specific one but have gotten close a couple of times...

Thanks !

The capacitors connected in series or in parallel have an opposition to the alternating current AC, expressed by the capacitive impedance Xc = 1 / 2PifC,it is an imaginary resistance due to the frequency f that makes the capacitors very sensitive to electric shocks and abrupt fluctuations of the control circuit. This being the case, fan technologies should seek to introduce a more robust alternative control circuit to the destructive electrical disturbances,as power resistors and transistors...

Your article Fluorescent desktop lamp was also illuminating (pardon the pun).

George! Thanks for the article.

Thanks for sharing. It´s a very good idea not only just describe a maintenance work but also put didactic information on an article. Greetings!

And it is good of you to warn for safely climbing ladders, especially if they are of the electrically conducting sort! (LOL).
