If your capacitor goes open,it will make your open circuit voltage lower and make the arc less stable. If your capacitor goes short, it will make your welder act like it has stuck the wire tip to the work and maybe burn out the diodes. Usually a shorting failure will lead to the fluid in the capacitors erupting or leaking out.
Other CD Welding Problems There are three other areas where CD welding can have problems: . Arc Blow. This can be visually identified by weld spatter or fillet on only one side of the stud. It will look like molten metal was "blown" out from one side of the stud. 2. Sliding Studs. The stud slides during the welding process. It will look ...

Thats right Glyn your capacitor would be if its connected like a brooks Ive got, live - one side of centrifugal switch - other side of switch - capacitor - other terminal capacitor to the start winding, the motor details would help yes, but different manufacturers used different capacitors but would give you a ball park figure to go for. The click you hear is the switch yes.

The problems you get with larger capacitors is that they act as little storage cells, so you will get a run-on with motors. A bit more complicated solution to this (new) problem, is to use a trigger switch onto a relay which will cut the supply instantly, but you should also then arrange for the capacitor charge to go into a meaty resistor instead, and use electric braking …

This is a problem in welding because the heat input from the welding power source is quickly conducted away from the weld zone. When you conduct the heat away from the weld zone to some other area of the material, the weld zone does not stay hot enough to form a quality weld. It is like trying to fill up a kiddie swimming pool that has a hole in it. All the water runs out of the …
