So, Mr. Knows the Answer. How many amps flow throuch such a cap?


It will depend on the type of cap, and the voltage rating.... 35mfd caps
come in voltage ratings from .5v to 50,000v.....

As far as the current handling capabilities of spade terminals, they are
sufficient to run a 5 ton scroll compressor. They just need to be clean and
tight. If the system is grossly over charged, it will cause the compressor
shell to sweat... moisture gets into the terminals, that causes corrosion,
that causes resistance, that causes heat, that causes the terminals to burn.

But......... these are things that you just haven't figured out yet, because
its part of a complete system assesment, as opposed to just washing out the
condenser coils.
