Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

This capacitor serves as a universal replacement for any start capacitor with the same capacitance range and voltage rating. It can replace parts from brands such as Aerovox, Packard, Mars, GE, and others, provided the specifications match.

• Capacitance must be within the 189-227 uF range.
• Voltage must be at least 220-250 VAC. A higher voltage rating is acceptable, but a lower rating is not.
• Physical dimensions should be checked for proper fit.

Compatibility & Fitment

Designed for intermittent duty in the start circuit of single-phase AC electric motors. Common applications include:

• HVAC units (compressors and fan motors)
• Pool and spa pumps
• Well pumps
• Air compressors
• Refrigeration units
• Gate openers
• Other motor-driven machinery

When to Replace

A failing start capacitor can cause motor issues. Consider replacement if you observe the following symptoms:

• Motor hums but does not start or turn over.
• Motor starts slowly or struggles to reach full operating speed.
• Circuit breaker trips repeatedly when the motor tries to start.
• The existing capacitor shows physical damage, such as bulging, cracking, or leaking fluid.

Installation Tips

• Safety First:Disconnect all electrical power to the equipment before beginning installation.
• Discharge Old Capacitor:Before handling, safely discharge the old capacitor by shorting its terminals with an insulated-handle screwdriver or a resistor.
• Verify Specifications:Confirm the uF rating and VAC rating of the new capacitor match the requirements of the original part.
• Check Connections:Note the wiring configuration before disconnecting the old unit. Connect the new capacitor in the same manner.
• Secure Mounting:Ensure the capacitor is mounted securely in its bracket to prevent damage from vibration.
