(yet another) Ceiling fan capacitor identification and replacement
Home Improvement Asked on February 11, 2021
Could I get some help identifying this blown (and very smelly) capacitor from a ceiling fan, and maybe suggest where replacements may be found?
I’m not sure how to read the label. Also there is no wiring diagram for the 3 wires, although two different capacitances are listed.
-
AC300/260V. What are the two voltages, and is it necessary to match exactly for a 120V AC circuit?
-
1.5 / 3 uF J. How can I find out which wire is for 1.5 uF and which is for 3 uF, short of measuring. What is the J at the end?
-
TV525/455. No clue what any of this means. Is it relevant?

One Answer
It is a 1.5/3 microfared cap 260v eBay has them for 8.99$ Amazon 6.95 the one that I looked at was 250v but that will be fine on a 120v circuit.
You need to make sure you connect them correctly as 1 lead is common 1 is 1.5 UF the other is 3 UF.
The positions will be the same , the other numbers are MFG lot numbers etc.
Note I just searched “ capacitor 1.5/3”
