I've found some that are 12 uf but they are 250 volt not 150 volt? Does it matter as long as the uf is 12? End the is the cap a run or start? Thanks for the lesson on these. I know that liquid had something bad in it. Suspected pcp but now having them confirmed scares me.

Yea that's case is cracked on top and it smells lethal. It boiled out a bunch of liquid orange in color and it hardened after cooled. Does this make it a run capacitor or a start ?

Oh and its it a run or start.?

This came from a bench belt/disc sander. An older allied 120 volt. I cant make heads or tails of it. It was sizzling and leaking some awful smelling stuff from inside. The sander will still start and work bit not really good. This capacitor looked odd as it wasn't mounted and looked too large...
