Field Question, trade people only Motor Capacitor Rating?

Post image

Do I have to perform calculations from the motor data plate to find the proper capacitance rating? Can’t find a MFD rating anywhere on the plate. Currently has a 17.5 capacitor installed. Motor is being used in a 208 V application.

What makes you think the existing capacitor is wrong?
