Motor Start Capacitor 250uF/450V AC for Industrial and Household Motors
This start capacitor ensures efficient starting of electric motors in air conditioning units, water pumps, compressors, and other industrial or household equipment. With a capacity of 250uF and a rated voltage of 450V AC, it guarantees stable performance under demanding conditions, extending the motor's lifespan. Quick replacement, without the need for a specialized electrician.
What you get with this product
- Fast and safe starting of electric motors — eliminates heavy starts that overstress the motor
- Universal compatibility with household and industrial motors — works with air conditioners, water pumps, compressors, cooling fans
- Extended operating life — up to 10000 hours at 400V, resistant to extreme temperatures between -40°C and +85°C
- Simple installation with 4 spade terminals and a fixing screw — replace the faulty capacitor in under 15 minutes
- Self-healing dielectric protection — the capacitor recovers its functionality in case of momentary overload
- Robust flame-retardant UL 94 V-2 plastic casing — enhanced safety in environments with thermal risk
How it works and how to install it
The start capacitor provides additional current when the electric motor starts, helping it overcome initial inertia. After the motor reaches its rated speed, the capacitor reduces its function. For installation, disconnect the power supply, remove the old capacitor, connect the spade terminals to the motor terminals respecting the polarity, and secure the capacitor to the bracket with the included screw. Check connections before restarting the equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my motor's capacitor is faulty?
Classic signs: the motor doesn't start, makes a humming sound without rotating, or frequently stops after starting. Also visually check if the capacitor is swollen or shows leaks.
Does this capacitor also work at 220V?
Yes, the 450V AC rated voltage safely covers household 220V-240V networks. The capacitor is oversized to ensure a long lifespan.
Can I use this capacitor for any type of electric motor?
The capacitor is compatible with most single-phase motors that require a start capacitor. Check the capacity recommended by the motor manufacturer — 250uF is standard for 1-2 HP motors.
