Round

 

Who Cares?

 

Thank you ackid

 

Glad to help. I like the round ones because they're an easier fit in tight spots.

 

To keep my stock simple I do dual rounds in every size /5mfd. Then ovals of every size up to 20mfd. If I get say a 30/3 or 45/7.5 I just slap the compressor on half the dual and the fan on a separate oval. More often than not it seems like condenser fan motors are 5 mfd, so it works out pretty good. Since most blowers seem to have stock ovals having the smaller size in ovals keeps me from having to make brackets, same with a/cs most of them are round.

 

Almost all round. Have oval up to I think 15.

 

I prefer round but for me it comes down to whatever the supply house has in stock. If I need to get creative and mount the capacitor somewhere else I really don't have a problem with that.

 

My supplier doesn't stock any dual ovals but I would only stock rounds anyways.

 

Thanks for the replies, just what I was looking for.
