• Replaces any start capacitor with matching capacitance, voltage, and frequency specifications.

Compatibility & Fitment

• Designed for starting fractional horsepower, single-phase AC electric motors.
• Common applications include HVAC units, air compressors, well pumps, refrigeration units, and fans.
• Fit is universal for applications requiring a 270-324 MFD capacitor at 110V to 125V.

When to Replace

• Motor hums but fails to start or starts slowly.
• Circuit breaker trips repeatedly upon motor startup.
• Visible damage to the existing capacitor, such as bulging, cracking, or leaking fluid.
• Capacitance measures outside the specified tolerance range when tested with a multimeter.

Installation Tips

• Disconnect all electrical power to the equipment before beginning installation.
• Safely discharge the old capacitor by shorting the terminals with an insulated tool.
• Confirm the new capacitor's MFD and VAC ratings match the component being replaced.
• As a non-polarized component, wires can be connected to either terminal.
• Securely mount the capacitor to prevent vibration and ensure firm wire connections.
