Subject: Re: [Drakelist] off topic - motor start vs electrolytic caps


It's unpolarised and probably a paper or plastic film dielectric cap.
Had it gone leaky?

Leakage is my guess too but some motor starting caps are back to back electrolytics. It depends on the value necessary. Some applications require caps too large for other dielectrics.
