Capacitor Start 80-100UF is engineered to supply the robust starting torque necessary for single-phase induction motors by providing a temporary electrical boost during start-up. With a capacitance range of 80–100 microfarads (µF) and typical voltage ratings from 250V to 330V AC (50/60 Hz), this non-polarized electrolytic capacitor is specifically intended for intermittent duty. It is engaged for just seconds via relay or centrifugal switch, then disconnected after the motor reaches operating speed.

Constructed with a durable cylindrical housing (often PVC, bakelite, or aluminum) and featuring terminal connections, the capacitor withstands temperatures typically from -40°C to +65°C and supports thousands of start cycles. Its compact form factor (generally 36–46mm diameter, 70–85mm height) allows for easy integration into various appliances.

Capacitor Start 80-100UF is used exclusively as a motor start capacitor and must not be installed for continuous operation. It is essential for devices requiring significant starting torque, such as pumps, compressors, HVAC systems, washing machines, and power tools. Proper selection matching the capacitance and voltage ratings to the specific motor is critical for safe and effective performance.
