- ± 5% tolerance for consistent performance in variable temperature and load conditions
How it works and how to install it
The capacitor is connected in series with the starting winding of the electric motor, providing the necessary energy impulse to overcome inertia at startup. Installation involves disconnecting the electrical power, removing the old capacitor, and connecting the four male spade terminals to the corresponding terminals in the motor or electrical panel. Observe the polarity marked on the housing and ensure that the motor's operating voltage does not exceed 450V AC. The operation takes less than 15 minutes for an experienced technician.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this capacitor for any 220V electric motor?
Yes, if the motor requires a 5uF start capacitor. Check the value marked on the original capacitor or in the equipment's technical manual.
What happens if the capacity differs by a few microfarads?
Small differences are acceptable due to the ± 5% tolerance, but larger deviations can cause slow starting, overheating, or even motor stalling.
Can it be installed outdoors?
The capacitor does not have IP protection against humidity. For outdoor installation, it must be installed in a sealed box with a minimum IP54 protection.
