Can I use this capacitor to replace a 40 MFD 440 VAC on a Lennox Compressor

The short answer is yes, but some assumptions have to be made. Your compressor is probably in a 3 ton unit, which means that the motor will start and run with a 40MFD capacitor. And the capacitor mounting is a simple loop strap. There are ways of testing your old capacitor, which you might want to do if you are trouble shooting and are not sure if the capacitor is bad. On the other hand, if you replace the capacitor and symptoms do not change, you now have a spare.

You have to look on compressor how much MFD/Volt of its capacitor. If it is the same, you can use it.

You can use the same voltage or higher as a replacement.Never use one of lower voltage than the system requires.

Not sure, you'd have to look at the voltage of your vacuum and what the converter can handle.

On paper, yes, with enough amps left over for other devices. In reality, this compressor will probably have a hard time and might get damaged. See Del's answer. Also this only supplies 120 volts, so make sure you don't need 240.

Yes. Make sure you don't overload this unit, like with a shop vac, etc or the circuit breaker will trip. Great unit.

You have a dual run capacitor the 80 is for the compressor and the 5 is for the condenser fan motor if the capacitor is still good you can use it also for the new motor but you need someone who knows how to test it and wire it don't try it yourself .

Yes, though with a bit of trickery. I installed a hard start capacitor in my Dometic AC unit. Without it, the generator would trip because of the high initial load. The hard start capacitor worked like magic.

Indeed it would. My Lennox air handler only requires a 110 VAC receptacle, so I got this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000513O4/

No, unless you have a great deal of time on hand. This compressor has a very slow recovery rate even when plugged in. I t is not intended for that purpose.

I believe it will work fine. My son bought one and uses it on a smaller compressor with no problems.

The capacitor physical size does not matter as long as the specs are the same. Be sure the micro farad rating, 35/5 is the same as well as the voltage. If it was 35/5, but a 370vac instead of a 440vac, then it would eventually fail. If the capacitor is still good, then you have another issue.

Not for sure the amp capacity of the switch or your compressor, otherwise it will work

Yes. That is the reason I bought this. I didnt have the space for a 220 compressor that was going to be used to run a DA. This machine was more than an adequate substitute.

I wouldn't use the 5mfd to replace 3mfd because it is used for the run of the fan motor and this could shorten the life of the motor . The 35 mfd is used for starting of the compressor that requires more power.

I don't see why not; It's a spring (mechanically) operated switch, so voltage is not a concern and the contacts are rated for 110 VAC @10 A, so 24 VDC should be no problem.

You only need to replace the capacitor if it's defective. 80+5 means it's dual purpose for both the condenser fan and the compressor, just plug the new motor on the same post that the old one came from.

install a hard start 3-in-1 capacitor, look it up its cheap and provides the massive power needed to start the compressor while using a lower wattage generator, it's a very known solution to using lower rated generators for A/C

I would think yes, I haven't tried it but the clips are good quality so will go down to a small electrical fixing. The only proviso would be the current draw for the compressor, you would want to make sure any fused connection used was capable of the current required by the compressor.
