Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

• Packard TMJ270
• Replaces any start capacitor with the same capacitance and voltage ratings.

Compatibility & Fitment

• Designed for single-phase AC electric motors.
• Common applications include HVAC units, air compressors, well pumps, refrigeration systems, and other motor-driven equipment.
• Fits any application requiring a motor start capacitor with matching electrical specifications and physical dimensions.

When to Replace

• Motor hums but fails to start or struggles to turn over.
• Start-up is slow or hesitant.
• Circuit breaker trips repeatedly when the motor attempts to start.
• Capacitor case is physically swollen, cracked, or leaking fluid.
• Capacitance measures outside the specified 270-324 uF range when tested.

Installation Tips

• Disconnect all electrical power to the equipment before beginning work.
• Carefully discharge the existing capacitor by shorting the two terminals with an insulated tool.
• Confirm the uF/MFD and VAC ratings of the new capacitor match the original part's specifications.
• Secure the capacitor in the mounting bracket to prevent vibration.
• Connect the wires to the terminals. Polarity does not matter for AC start capacitors.
