Abstract
A method for supplying a plurality of capacitance values to a plurality of heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC/R) components is provided. The method includes configuring a first set of terminals of a connection device to couple a first capacitor to the connection device and configuring the connection device to couple the first capacitor to at least one of the plurality of HVAC/R components. The method further includes configuring a second set of terminals of the connection device to couple a second capacitor to the connection device and configuring the connection device to selectively couple the second capacitor to at least one of the plurality of HVAC/R components.
Claims6
A connection device for selectively coupling a plurality of capacitors to a plurality of components included in a heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC/R) system, said connection device comprising:
- a first conductor operable to couple a first contact of a first capacitor to a first HVAC/R component;
- a second conductor operable to couple a second contact of said first capacitor to a second HVAC/R component;
- and
- a third conductor operable to selectively couple a first contact of a second capacitor to one of said first HVAC/R component and said second HVAC/R component.
