Mike Lamb Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 What is this thing? It was beneath a 1995 Cat 1 furnace. I was too cramped to get a good look at it. Click to Enlarge 28.09 KB Click to Enlarge 36.1 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Multi-section capacitor. That one looks like a sort I used to run into long ago that are used with switching circuits to arrive at several values of total connected capacitance. Some older fans use that method to vary motor speed. I guess some manufacturers are still using it. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 It's a run capacitor for the blower. It's an after market replacement and they didn't bother mounting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
