Yeh - and do you know what a DUAL CAP IS ?????


Yep, and many units have separate condensor and compressor caps, in case
your vast experience hasn't exposed you to that, yet. Many PSC air-over
condensor fans have cap pigtails so short you can't get them back into the
weather enclosure, anyway... you have to hang the cap inside the condensor
area, or scab wiring onto them to get back home.


I have not run across any resi equipment that was manufactured after 1993
that *didn't* have a dual run cap for both the compressor and condenser fan.
FWIW, the only caps I have found that need to be hung upside down(terminals
down) are the blower motor caps on mobile homes.
I am *still* waiting on the model and serial numbers on the 1 ton split
system.
