Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

  • This capacitor replaces any round motor start capacitor with the same capacitance (460-552 MFD) and voltage (110V, 115V, 125V) ratings.
  • Commonly identified as a CD60 type start capacitor.

Compatibility & Fitment

  • Universal fit for single-phase AC electric motors.
  • Suitable for motor starting applications including:
    • Air conditioners
    • HVAC compressors and fan motors
    • Pumps (well, pool, sump)
    • Refrigeration units
    • Air compressors

When to Replace

  • Motor hums but will not start or turn over.
  • Motor starts slowly or requires manual assistance to start.
  • The original capacitor is visibly bulging, cracked, or leaking fluid.
  • The motor trips the circuit breaker upon startup.
  • Capacitance measures outside of the rated 460-552 MFD range when tested with a multimeter.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect all electrical power to the equipment before servicing.
  • Safely discharge the existing capacitor by shorting the terminals with an insulated screwdriver.
  • Confirm the MFD and VAC ratings of the new capacitor match the original part.
  • Start capacitors are non-polarized; wires can be connected to either terminal.
  • Ensure a secure physical mounting and clean electrical connections.

FAQ

This round CD60 capacitor is typically used as a motor start capacitor in equipment that matches its electrical ratings: 460-552 uF, 110-125 VAC, and 50/60 Hz. It may be used in certain AC units, fan motors, heat pumps, compressors, blowers, and other single-phase motors that call for a start capacitor in this range. The safest way to confirm fit is to match the microfarad range, voltage rating, capacitor type, and terminal style to the original part from your equipment.
Match the replacement to the value printed on your original capacitor. For this part, the correct range is 460-552 uF MFD. The replacement should also meet or exceed the original voltage rating, and it should be the same type of capacitor. If your old capacitor shows a different microfarad range, even if it looks similar physically, it may not be the right replacement.
Common symptoms include a motor that hums but will not start, delayed starting, intermittent startup, overheating, tripped breakers, or a fan/compressor that needs a push to get moving. In some cases the capacitor housing may appear swollen, cracked, or leaking. Because these symptoms can also be caused by a weak motor, seized bearings, bad relay, or wiring issues, the capacitor should be tested before replacement when possible.
Based on the CD60 style and the 460-552 uF rating, this is generally used as a motor start capacitor, not a continuous-duty run capacitor. Start capacitors are designed to provide extra torque during startup and are usually taken out of the circuit by a relay or switch once the motor is running. Do not substitute it for a run capacitor unless your equipment specifications specifically call for it.
Before installation, disconnect power completely and discharge the old capacitor safely. Verify the original capacitor's microfarad rating, voltage, type, and wiring layout. It is also smart to inspect the start relay, potential relay, centrifugal switch, contactor, wiring terminals, and the motor itself. A failed relay or hard-start condition can damage a new capacitor quickly if the root cause is not corrected.
Replacement is usually straightforward for someone experienced with electrical repairs, but capacitors can store a dangerous charge even after power is removed. Typical work involves shutting off power, confirming zero voltage, discharging the old capacitor, labeling wires, swapping the part, and reconnecting the terminals correctly. Basic tools often include a screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter. For an experienced technician, installation may take about 15 to 30 minutes.
