Capacitor Start 160-200UF is specifically designed to temporarily boost the starting torque of single-phase induction motors by providing a significant surge of electrical energy during motor start-up. With a capacitance range of 160–200 microfarads (µF) and voltage ratings typically from 250V up to 330V AC (50/60 Hz), these non-polarized electrolytic capacitors are built for intermittent duty—activated only for a few seconds during startup and disconnected via a relay or centrifugal switch once the motor reaches running speed. The cylindrical casing is often made from durable plastic or aluminum, with typical dimensions around 46mm in diameter and 85mm in height, sometimes equipped with terminal tabs and mounting brackets for secure installation.

Key Features Capacitor Start 160-200UF:
