Compatibility & Fitment

• Designed for intermittent duty in single-phase AC motor starting circuits.
• Commonly used in HVAC units, air compressors, well pumps, and other electric motor applications requiring a start capacitor with these specifications.

When to Replace

• Motor hums but fails to start or struggles to reach full speed.
• Circuit breaker trips when the motor attempts to start.
• Visible signs of damage on the old capacitor, such as bulging, cracking, or fluid leakage.

Installation Tips

• Disconnect all electrical power to the equipment before starting work.
• Safely discharge the old capacitor by shorting the terminals with an insulated screwdriver or a suitable resistor.
• Ensure the voltage and microfarad (uF/MFD) ratings of the new capacitor match the original part specifications.
• Confirm secure connections to the terminals. Polarity is not a concern for this type of AC capacitor.
