Regal Rexnord Century Motors Start Capacitor

Regal Rexnord - Century Motors start capacitors, also called motor start capacitors or start caps, give single-phase electric motors a short burst of extra torque at startup. Each capacitor stores electrical energy and releases it briefly. That helps the motor overcome its starting load and reach running speed. They are commonly used in HVAC, refrigeration and other industrial motor applications.

Key Features:

• Delivers high starting torque to help motors get up to speed smoothly
• Helps provide consistent acceleration and proper phase shift during startup
• Reduces electrical stress on motor components during repeated start cycles
• Built by Regal Rexnord - Century Motors, a respected name in electric motors and motor components
• Available in a range of capacitance (MFD) and voltage ratings to match different motor requirements

Maintenance Tips:

• Inspect the capacitor periodically for bulging, leakage or signs of overheating
• Keep terminals tight, clean and free of corrosion
• Replace the capacitor if the motor starts hard or starts inconsistently

Choose the child item that matches the capacitance and voltage rating your motor requires. A properly rated start capacitor helps keep startup reliable and protects your motor over its service life.
