7 - Starting Capacitor
7.1 - Incorrect starting capacitor
Check if the capacitance and voltage
values are suitable for the compressor.
Consult the Embraco Compressor
Application Table or the manufacturer of
the refrigeration system. If the
capacitance value is wrong, change the
capacitor for the one recommended.
7.2 - Faulty starting capacitor
Check that the voltage in the output is the
same as that showing on the capacitor.

Figure 20 - Starting Capacitor
Do not touch the
terminals of a charged
capacitor. This could
be fatal.
Caution
Next, connect the capacitor in series with
a test bulb and observe:
• normal luminosity of the bulb: faulty.
Capacitor plates short-circuiting.
• bulb does not light up: faulty. Capacitor
plates open.
• bulb with less luminosity - the capacitor
is OK.
If the capacitor leaks or has a crack,
it must be changed.
