Dose the Fieldpiece discharge the "capacitor" in the central air condition unit ?

The wires need to be unhooked from the capacitor first, then it will give an accurate reading.

The cord is on the discharge side. Meaning it's on the side the air will blow out.

it appears so. However in my case this start capacitor still failed to start my compressor. I put on a hard start Capacitor and my frig has been working like a champ for the past 4 or 5 months.

Yes just two wires if that is all your original capacitor had. I have install two on each of my motorhome ac units. They give the old units a real solid start.

Yes, it has three terminals. One marked Herm, one Fan and one C. Identical connections to my original capacitor. As someone else stated, the pictured capacitor may not be the one described. Pay close attention to the description. This was the correct capacitor for my A/C condensor unit.

Call Air Vent, the distributor of the switch, at 1-800-AIR-VENT (247-8368). They should be able to answer your question. The amazon.com ad says it's for whole house fans, like the attic fan I run with it. That attic fan also has a separate starting capacitor. In almost a year of use, I have had no problems with the switch.

Power goes to the condenser (outside) unit, you need a disconnect and flex a/c whip at that point(1/2"). The inside unit has a cable that connects to the outdoor unit along with the refrigerant lines. The indoor unit and lines must be evacuated and leak checked before opening the valves are opened.

i don't know. my son in law was told that the capacitor in my ac was going bad and it needed to be replaced. it would have cost a fortune to have the repairs done by the a/c company so he looked up the part on amazon and figured out it would work. it's shaped a bit different that the original but, he installed it and my a/c works fine. i don't know how he figured out that it would work even though slightly different. i hope you are able to figure it out.

If it is still making the little electric arc then it is making ozone. Just blow out any dust from the machine that plugs air flow.

This Air Conditioner runs on 110v therefore it has a standard grounded plug

Yes, note the capacitor symbol just below the diode. However, the meter is not quick and you must continue to make good contact with the probes for a number of seconds.

Yes, the A/C thermostat sends a 24volt a/c current to the relay in your air conditioner outside and the circulation fan on the inside. When this current is sent it trips both of these relays and starts up the compressor and circulating fan. I changed it myself.....took a few pictures to be sure o hook up the same way and all worked just fine. $160 sounds like a lot to me! Good luck.

No. It does not, but you load refrigerant on the low side of the system. Make sure the gauges are closed when you check the system or you will vent out the refrigerant.

If you have a true start relay with a start capacitor(and it is working) yes it would be redundant. Most of the newer condenser units(which have mainly scroll compressors) do not have start capacitors only a run capacitor.

It's not listed on the unit. I suggest running the car when using it off accessory plug to save the battery. It runs and fills faster. I bought it because it plugs into the AC as well. I have smaller units for emergency car use. Similar to a Craftsman unit that recently "fell apart" and only lasted 5 years with occasional use. I hope this unit is better made. Really good for blowing up mattresses and large pool "floaties".

yes, very minor, more like a twinkle. there is a big pull of current when something of this caliber suddenly starts, but this is no where as bas as the AC unit kicking in.

Yes. The fan runs after 100% charge as the unit then enters conditioning mode.
