Embraco Start Capacitor

The Embraco Start Capacitor line (also called a motor start capacitor or compressor start capacitor) is made for hermetic refrigeration and air conditioning compressors. During startup, the capacitor gives the compressor motor's start winding a temporary boost of electrical energy. This helps the motor produce the torque it needs to begin turning reliably.

Key Features:

• Designed for use in refrigeration and A/C compressor motor start circuits
• Made by Embraco, a well-known maker of hermetic compressors and cooling components
• Supports dependable compressor starting under load
• Intended for intermittent-duty starting, with the capacitor dropping out of the circuit once the motor is running
• Offered in several microfarad (MFD) and voltage ratings, with each part number carrying its own electrical specifications
• Suitable for replacing a worn or failed start capacitor when the electrical ratings match the original

A weak or failed start capacitor can cause hard starting, repeated compressor clicking or humming, and tripped breakers. Replacing it with a quality Embraco capacitor helps restore normal starting performance. Always disconnect power and safely discharge the capacitor before installation or service.
