How it works and how to install it
The capacitor connects to the electric motor circuit via its 4 male terminals, providing the necessary electrical impulse for starting. Mounting to the support is done with the included screw, and connecting to the motor terminals takes only a few minutes. No advanced electrical knowledge is required — follow the appliance's electrical diagram and ensure the mains voltage matches the specifications (400-500V AC).
Frequently asked questions
How do I know my capacitor is faulty?
Clear signs: the motor doesn't start, makes noise when starting, stops abruptly, or smells burnt. Test with a multimeter in capacitance mode or replace directly.
Can I use this capacitor for any electric motor?
Yes, if the motor requires a start capacitor with an 8uF capacity and an operating voltage between 400-500V AC. Check the technical specifications on the motor label.
How often should the capacitor be replaced?
Under normal operating conditions, its lifespan exceeds 3000 hours at 450V. Replace it at the first signs of malfunction or preventively every 5-7 years.
