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.
