Tecumseh K146-44 160 MFD 330V Start Capacitor

The Tecumseh K146-44 is a heavy-duty start capacitor designed for refrigeration and air conditioning compressor applications. This capacitor provides the initial electrical boost needed to start single-phase compressor motors, delivering reliable performance in demanding HVAC/R systems.

Key Specifications:

• Capacitance: 160 microfarads (MFD)
• Voltage Rating: 330 VAC
• Type: Start capacitor (intermittent duty)
• Application: Compressor motor starting
• Manufactured by Tecumseh, a trusted name in refrigeration components

Start capacitors like the K146-44 are critical components that provide additional starting torque to overcome the initial load when a compressor motor begins operation. This capacitor is designed for intermittent duty cycles and automatically disconnects from the circuit once the motor reaches operating speed. Proper capacitance rating is essential for reliable compressor starting and long motor life.

Important: Always verify capacitor specifications match your equipment requirements before installation. Incorrect capacitance values can result in starting failure or equipment damage.
