Features & Benefits
- Wide capacitance tolerance range (216–259 µF) simplifies cross-referencing and replacement across multiple OEM applications
- 330VAC rating provides a reliable safety margin for standard single-phase motor circuits
- Round housing design for easy drop-in installation in standard capacitor brackets and mounting straps
- Constructed for high-cycle start duty, resisting heat buildup and premature failure
- Trusted Mars quality — a leading name in HVAC electrical components
Typical Applications
- Residential and light-commercial air conditioning compressors
- Heat pump compressor motors
- Refrigeration unit motors requiring start-capacitor assistance
- Single-phase PSC and CSCR motor circuits
Installation Notes
Start capacitors are only in the circuit during motor start-up and are switched out once the motor reaches operating speed. Always discharge capacitors before handling and verify that the replacement capacitor’s µF range and voltage rating meet or exceed the OEM specification. Consult the equipment nameplate and wiring diagram before installation.
