Compatibility & Fitment

• Designed for single-phase AC motor starting applications.
• Suitable for HVAC units, air compressors, well pumps, fans, and other electric motors.
• Compatible with systems requiring a start capacitor rated for 216-259 MFD and 220V, 230V, or 250V.

When to Replace

• Motor hums but fails to start or experiences slow start-up.
• Circuit breaker trips when the motor attempts to start.
• Visible damage to the existing capacitor, such as bulging, cracking, or fluid leakage.
• Capacitance measures outside the specified tolerance range when tested.

Installation Tips

• Disconnect all electrical power to the equipment before installation.
• Safely discharge the old capacitor by shorting the terminals with a resistor or an insulated tool.
• Confirm the µF/MFD and voltage ratings match the component being replaced.
• Connect wires to terminals. AC start capacitors are non-polarized; wire order does not matter.
• Secure the capacitor with the original mounting bracket.
