I have a 575 volt single phase condenser fan motor with a 370 volt capacitor.This comes O.E.M. from Carrier.It periodically blows the capacitor,in neighbouring units too...
Any thoughts?

A capacitor must always be correct sized and even beterr oversized.
I should contact Carrier for this because this is a warranty case.

Its a run capacitor,the motor voltage is 575v.
I am wondering if the capacitor only sees one leg of the 575 voltage,which would be approxiamately 347 volts?
