Review: Unisaw 1 phase 220 volt direct replacement. - I purchased this to replace my 10” Rockwell Unisaw’s capacitor. Motor was just humming and not spinning. Checked the voltage at the low voltage box. Everything checked good. Removed the motor and smelled it. Nothing burned. Removed and tested the capacitor. Read 0 (zero). Was a little apprehensive to just replace but what else could it be..... So, replaced it and all is good. Saw is working. Only item noted was the physical size. Much smaller than what I removed. Hoping the duty cycle is equal to what I removed!
Review: Tested good and works well - Replaced a bad start capacitor in my dehumidifier. The old one was a 200-240 uF 250V. This new one rated 216-259 uF tested at 235 uF and the dehumidifier is now working again. The compressor would just hum when turned on pointing to the start capacitor as the most likely problem. Sure enough.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work on a 110VAC table saw motor?**
A: I put the one I purchased on a 10” craftsman table saw motor and it worked fine.  I did take the motor apart and cleaned the centrifical switch when I replaced the capacitor.  Everything is still working fine

**Q: will this work for a range of 115/250 volt?**
A: it worked fine for me I used it for a 220/ or 240 V. application on an electric motor

**Q: I need a 27-32 mfd 330vac  for a small motor that raises and lowers a instrument table. this one exploded. do you know where to get one?**
A: Thanks for the question! I'm not sure that we carry one like that, but if you could provide the brand name of your equipment along with the complete model and serial numbers of the unit (By saying 'Unit' we mean the complete furnace, air conditioner, or appliance), I'd be happy to see if we can help you get one. Thanks!

**Q: Will this replace the start capacitor on an Edco 1.5 hp concrete grinder?**
A: It depends on what the original start capacitor values were. If the voltage and capacitance are the same or greater than the one you are replacing then I see no reason it wouldn’t work.
