The Main Reason Why Start Capacitors Fail in HVAC Units! This Cap Blows Out!

In this HVAC Training Video, I show a Start Capacitor actually Failing by Blowing Out. I discuss how the start capacitor works and how it is different than a run capacitor. I discuss the main reason why these start capacitors fail. They fail from overheating, high voltage, and from the potential relay sticking in the closed position.
