r/AirCompression

air compressor capacitor

I have a 120V jobsite air compressor with a prolapsed capacitor that now needs replaced. 55mf. Someone pointed me to amazon of course but I am mostly finding 370V/440V rated capacitors. The 120V options all have the wrong resistance.

Is it ok practice to use a 55mf 370V/440V capacitor in my 120V air compressor?

Almost done rebuild

It’s taken me 2 years, a new single phase motor, new belts, oil, and plenty of banging my head against a brick wall but finally got this 60’s IR compressor up and running. Next is getting everything set up for its proper home.
