Hello guys
My swimming pool pump area got flooded and we removed the pump which was completely submerged in water about a meter deep (rainwater).
The pump itself only contains a motor and a Capacitor both of which were wet when we opened it .
The motor is out in the sun to dry (it's gna be fine right? )
The question is the capacitor , will it still be functional or should I find a replacement ?
I've googled it and I can't find a satisfactory answer from the datasheets . The top of the capacitor is NOT visibly leak-proof but I don't know about the inside because I can't open it without breaking it.
Also i've tested the cap with 14 volts (it's rated for 250-500v) and when I short the leads after charging it there are some small sparks which means that it's working fine at that voltage.
Also no continuity was found between the capacitor leads when testing with my multimeter .
Thanks in advance.
The capacitor is a Ducati EN 60252 motor capacitor.
I hope you guys don't hurt your neck tilting your head sideways
