Here is a follow up on replacing the capacitor on the direct drive Grainger blower. It is a 20 mfd 440 Volt RUN capacitor. Easily sourced from McMaster, not so easy to find in an HVAC supply because of the 440V rating.
The literature lists it generically as a start cap. I found out start caps and run caps are not the same. Start caps will not stand up to continuous use. I have a toasted one to prove the point.
