yes you can but, the compressor may not run as well and the capacitor may smoke and break if the compressor runs for an extended period of time so, make sure you check it the first couple of time you use the compressor.

Does voltage matter when charging a capacitor?

Yes, voltage matters when charging a capacitor. Capacitor charge rate is proportional to current and inversely proportional to capacitance. dv/dt = i/c So, voltage matters in terms of charge rate, if you are simply using a resistor to limit the current flow, because a larger voltage will attempt to charge faster, and sometimes there is a limit on the current through a capacitor. There is also a limit on voltage across a capacitor, so a larger voltage could potentially damage the capacitor.

How a capacitor store charge?

by using capacitor plates. The length,area ,thickness and type of the plate determines the amount of charge a capacitor can store.


How do you charge a capacitor?

You charge a capacitor by placing DC voltage across its terminal leads. Make sure when using a polarized capacitor to place positive voltage across the positive lead (the longer lead) and negative voltage across the negative lead. Also make sure that the voltage you charge the capacitor to doesn't exceeds its voltage rating.

Can I check the capacitor value by using analog or multimeter?

You can see if the capacitor charges and discharges with an ohmmeter. You can check the value of the capacitor if the multimeter has the facility. With an ESR meter you can establish the value of the capacitor while in circuit.

Why capacitor bank using reeactor?

Series reactors may be used in switching in capacitor banks. These are used to minimize the transient voltage spikes on the system resulting from switching in a capacitor bank.


Why is it important consider the correct polarity of an electrolytic capacitor when using it in the circuit?

The electrolytic capacitor can only have voltage across it in one direction. Failure to comply will result in catastrophic destruction of the capacitor.
