Compatibility & Fitment

• Designed for intermittent duty in single-phase AC motor starting circuits.
• Universal replacement for capacitors with a 270-324 MFD capacitance and a 330 VAC or higher voltage rating.
• Suitable for various motor-driven applications including HVAC, pumps, compressors, and machinery.

When to Replace

• Motor hums but does not start or struggles to start.
• Start cycle is slow or requires manual assistance.
• Circuit breaker trips repeatedly during motor startup.
• Visible damage to the existing capacitor, such as bulging, cracking, or fluid leakage.

Installation Tips

• Disconnect all electrical power to the unit before performing any service.
• Safely discharge the existing capacitor by shorting the terminals with an insulated tool.
• Verify the uf/MFD and VAC ratings of the new capacitor match the component being replaced.
• Ensure connections are secure and the capacitor is mounted properly.
• Professional installation is recommended for those unfamiliar with electrical work.
