How to convert nanofarads to microfarads
There are 1,000 nanofarads in one microfarad, so divide the number of nanofarads by 1,000.
µF = nF ÷ 1,000
1 nF = 0.001 µF · 1 µF = 1,000 nF
Worked example
To convert 5 nanofarads to microfarads: 5 nF ÷ 1,000 = 0.005 µF.
About nanofarads (nF)
A nanofarad is 1,000 pF, common for ceramic capacitors.
About microfarads (µF)
A microfarad is one millionth of a farad. Fan and motor capacitors are rated in µF (often written MFD).
