[Ukmiller]

Im looking for a capacitor for my bridgeport vmc1000.
I need a two pin 3uf +/- .5 430vac but cannot find any.
Any ideas?

This might be a bit small https://jr-international.fr/cbb61-450v-3uf-air-conditioning-blower_3MFN2_itm_english_GBP___.html?gclid=CjwKEAj w6e_IBRDvorfv2Ku79jMSJAAuiv9YECyFLrY72TEbh8RXcDCa5 X4UFhTvcPLwz4HIBZvqvRoCf0Xw_wcB

Hi Ukmiller

what is the capacitor used for ?

four of these in series / parallel combination could work
when the have them in stock

I can find 300 V capacitors but small 430 / 440 V poyester capacitors for spark suppresion or RF filtering is not that easy

have you tried http://www.bridgeportuk.com/

that looks more like it

Its the carousel rotation motor capacitor.
Thanks for your input

If you can't find a replacement motor run capacitor small enough to mount where the original one does, just extend the wires and mount it some where else.

It's not an ideal solution, but it will work, and probably be cheaper and easier than finding a similar capacitor.

We found a capacitor but we also found out the motor is dead too. Got one on order so hopefully all will be sorted soon
