Copeland 914-0036-12 189-227 Microfarad 250VAC Round Start Capacitor

Description

Copeland 914-0036-12 Round Start Capacitor Overview

The Copeland 914-0036-12 is a round start capacitor engineered to deliver the high-torque starting boost that HVAC compressors demand. With a capacitance range of 189–227 microfarads and a 250VAC voltage rating, this capacitor provides the surge of electrical energy needed to bring a compressor motor up to operating speed quickly and reliably — then drops out of the circuit to protect the motor during run operation.
