Hello. Im replacing the original run capacitor in my RV's ac unit. The label says 45uf + - 10%, 7.5mfd / 370vac, 3.4 amp. The one I have to replace it is all the same except it says 30uf + - 5% and its a bit smaller. Will this work?
 
Short answer is no, replace it like for like or spend a lot of money replacing a burnt out motor.
