In this 3D animation, Bryan Orr with HVAC School explains how to test a run capacitor properly while the HVAC system is under load. He covers the importance of capacitors for motor efficiency and reliability.

This video provides a stepbystep process for testing capacitors under load using a multimeter to measure amperage and voltage. Bryan shares the formula to calculate microfarads and explains what capacitor readings indicate a need for replacement. This easytofollow tutorial is useful for both maintenance and service calls.

Bryan emphasizes safety and meter accuracy as critical factors. He also mentions the free underload capacitor testing calculator available in the HVAC School mobile app. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned technician, this 3D video provides valuable tips for assessing capacitor performance.
