Running cap die every year
Hi all:
Last year, I hired a professional to replace my running cap. This year the cap die again. I replaced it myself. Does anyone know why the cap would die annually like that. The cap blown after first few days of summer season

You can substitute a cap with a higher voltage rating than the ones that crap out. Keep the uF the same, but jack up the voltage rating. With a higher voltage rating, the cap should last longer.
