Motor capacitors

Design and construction

Our motor operating capacitors are available in round or rectangular plastic cups and in round metal cups. For special areas of application, we also offer "wet" oil-filled motor operating capacitors.
The motor starting capacitors are available in metal or plastic housing.

Features

  • Voltage range 110 VAC up to 600 VAC
  • Capacitance range 0,22 μF bis 100 μF
  • Capacitance tolerance ± 10%
  • Long expected service life
  • High safety standards
  • Excellent self-healing properties

Applications

The motor starting capacitor is switched for the period of start-up in parallel with the operation, thereby increasing the overall capacitance. After the motor starts up the capacitor is switched off. The motor starting capacitor is preferably used in motors with higher power output and in motors that need to start up against a pressure such as compressors, for example.
The motor operating capacitors are suitable for diverse areas of application. However, they are primarily used in electrical household and industrial products.
