If you look at the top terminals on the capacitor, you should see that they make up a small terminal block on each side. This is often used as a way to eliminate the need for additional connectors.
So it depends on the capacitor type. If it is a capacitor that can't handle the voltage or current, or the supply can't handle the current, something may get damaged. If cap is at different voltage, it will be a short circuit when connected and when it reaches supply voltage it will be an open circuit.
If you look at the top terminals on the capacitor, you should see that they make up a small terminal block on each side. This is often used as a way to eliminate the need for additional connectors. In you case, it looks like this is done on the neutral side. Take care when working with mains power.
It is fine to connect them when the output voltage of the supply and the voltage across the capacitor are close to each other. If they are not close to each other, you may get a spark at the moment you connect them. The spark can suprise you with the amount of energy it delivers.
One important difference in polar capacitors is that electrolytic caps have the negative terminal marked, and tantalum caps mark the positive. Always be sure of the relative voltage differences of points with a capacitor between them so the smoke stays in the device.
An electrolitic capacitor does have a + and a - connection. They are NOT called cathode and anode, as they do with diodes. At an opamp you can have a negative powersupply. the - goes to the lower potential (VEE or -V). Thanks bertus.
Proper wiring of the run capacitor ensures that it functions correctly, making the appliance work efficiently and preventing damage to the motor. Incorrect wiring of the run capacitor can result in motor failure, overheating, and even fire.
