Diversi-Tech Motor Start Capacitor

Diversi-Tech Motor Start Capacitors give single-phase electric motors the extra boost of starting torque they need to get up to speed. They are also known as start capacitors or motor starting capacitors. They are commonly used in HVAC and refrigeration equipment such as air conditioner compressors, as well as in other split-phase and capacitor-start motor applications.

Key Features:

• Designed for intermittent-duty starting of capacitor-start single-phase motors
• Supplies a short burst of energy to help the motor overcome inertia at startup
• Available in a range of capacitance (MFD) and voltage ratings to match different motor requirements
• Compact, lightweight case that is simple to mount in the equipment
• Terminals allow straightforward wiring during replacement

Start capacitors are meant for brief use during motor startup and are normally taken out of the circuit by a relay or switch once the motor reaches operating speed. Replacing a weak or failed start capacitor can help restore reliable starting and reduce strain on the motor. Choose the capacitance and voltage rating that match the original equipment specifications.
