Ted and All,
These caps have two caps in one that can be paralleled for more capacitance.
I'm using them for my RSG phase controller.( thanks John). The ones I have
are 46uf +7.5uf. with only 45uf used the motor would lose sync lock and stop
about 4/3 of full shift. When I paralleled both cap terminals, I had a full
45 degree shift without sync lock. I'm using this on a Bodine 1/25 hp 1800
rpm unmodified motor. Just FYI

Sparky

	Hi Team
	Purchsed some of these myself, good buying even with freight to NZ
	Watch very carefully with the values, many are 3 PHASE caps so that
18+18+18
	for example is 18uF between 3 terminals in a delta config, you
cannot make
	3x18uF
	Tnx to list for advice on where to buy those, they are currently
resonating
	the sync rotary supply for phase control nd acting as motor run caps
as well
	Best
	Ted  Linney in NZ
