300vac/10uf capacitor- can i replace beside 2x 150v/5uf?

im not a real tech leader but maybe someone can aid me. i recently overloaded my generator here contained by the philippines. i bought it over from australia and am finding it hard to find a capacitor. its a square hat and has on it 300vac / 10uf. a technician (?) here told me i could replce it beside 2x150 vac caps run contained by series. would they be half the uf as resourcefully as the vac? so if it could be done would i use (2x) 150vac/5uf caps or (2x) 150vac/10uf cap? i hope someone can shed some light on my cross-examine!
thanks fellow yahooers...


Answers:    For series and parallel arrangments, help yourself to a look at this link:

Capacitance surrounded by parallel is strictly additive. Capacitance contained by series is the same as calculating resistance contained by parallel for resistors. The reason is that the further away the two plates contained by a capacitor are, the lower the capacitance to store a charge. Two caps contained by series is the same as one sunhat with plates further apart.

For voltage breakdown, surrounded by DC two 150v-rated caps would be duplicate as a single 300v-rated cap. But surrounded by AC, the phase angle, time lags, and reactive properties would need to be calculated near the other components in the circuit.

People tend to presume in linear lingo and, so DC theory comes pretty effortlessly to them. But AC theory operate in a logarithmic track and is affected by simple placement of other parts, so is much more complex.

Think of it as walking on a treadmill. When the treadmill is running 1 mile an hour, and you're walking 1 mile an hour surrounded by the opposite direction, your lattice result is 0 miles per hour.

Yet, if you were walking contained by the same direction, your network result would be 2 miles an hour (if the treadmill was long ample, like a moving path in an airport.)

That's linear progression. But presently take a treadmill or aisle that's a mile wide. If it's moving north at 1 mph, and you're walking 1 mph but going NE, later your net result is 1.4 mph. And walking E would dispense you a net result of solely 1 mph. And varying your speed would affect it even differently.

So, get the proper sunhat.
yes but you have to run contained by parallel circuit
