Baldor Electric Company EC1189A02SP MFD Start Capacitor - 189-227 115V

The Baldor EC1189A02SP is a high-quality electrolytic start capacitor designed to provide reliable starting torque for single-phase AC electric motors. This OEM replacement capacitor delivers the initial boost needed to bring motors up to approximately 75% of full operating speed before being disconnected by a centrifugal switch.

Key Specifications:

• Capacitance Range: 189-227 microfarads (MFD)
• Voltage Rating: 115-125 VAC
• Frequency: 50/60 Hz
• Maximum Operating Temperature: +65°C
• Compact Dimensions: 1.4" diameter x 3.3" length
• Construction: Non-polarized aluminum electrolytic with moisture and oil resistant molded plastic housing

Application:

This start capacitor is engineered for use with Baldor electric motors and compatible single-phase induction motors in industrial applications. It creates a phase shift between the main and auxiliary windings, generating the rotating magnetic field necessary for reliable motor startup. The capacitor remains in the circuit only during the starting phase and is then automatically disconnected to ensure efficient motor operation and prevent winding damage.

Features:

• Original Baldor OEM replacement part ensures perfect compatibility
• Electrolytic construction optimized for high-torque starting applications
• Wide capacitance range (189-227 MFD) provides flexibility for various motor sizes
• Durable construction withstands harsh operating conditions
• Rated for ambient temperatures from -40°C to +65°C

This capacitor is a critical component for maintaining optimal motor performance and preventing startup failures. When a start capacitor fails, motors typically will not start and may only hum when powered on.
