Thanks Will. They're probably the exact same caps I'm gonna get from McMaster, but branded otherwise. I know about caps via DC (I've built circuits in the past) but wasn't too sure of them pertaining to AC motors. But, this is how we learn. I'll get mine on Friday. We shall see.
Believe it or not, there is no storage of AC voltage possible in a capacitor.
the capacitor stores and releases the voltage as a DC conductor only.
so when we use capacitors in an AC circuit, the caps charge is DC and we introduce DC power into the AC system.
