Thanks, guys.

Your answers were pretty close to what I had thought about the term "Computer Grade." Additionally, I had thought the use of that term was a 'sales pitch.'

Hi,

A question that has bothered me for years.
What, in a capacitor, earns the title - "Computer Grade" ?
Is it some electrical characteristic or materials it is made of -(plates, insulator, ) voltages, AC or DC, the casing, terminals, etc ?
TNX fer any answer.

PYROUS,
I must appologize. I know nothing about you. You may even be a foreign student where English is not your first language. ( PYROUS = Greek ? )

Good luck with your college education.

PYROUS-
PLEASE, for your own sake in the future - especially when you write your resume' - take an elective course in spelling. Improving spelling will make the difference between getting a job and not getting one.
I mean no offense but just wish to help you.

Hey you guys - If a capacitor shifts the phase of the starting winding to cause the motor to turn in a certain direction...How about replacing the capacitor with an inductor to shift the phase shift in the opposite direction ? The inductor will be cut out at a certain speed just like the capacitor w...

To "Perfectbite" You mention -"The other side of the wall & measuring backwards." I am assuming 'the other side' is NOT tiled ? Take an electric drill with a 1/16th drill bit and 'on the other side of the wall' start some tiny pilot holes through the plaster (just above the b...
