Capacitor Start 40-50MF is engineered to temporarily boost the starting torque of single-phase induction motors, ensuring motors overcome inertia efficiently during start-up. With a capacitance range of 40–50 microfarads (µF) and voltage ratings typically from 220V to 350V AC, these electrolytic capacitors activate only for a few seconds during motor start, then are disconnected from the circuit via a relay or centrifugal switch. The sturdy cylindrical housing, often fitted with double connecting terminals and a mounting stud, ensures reliable installation and safe operation in various environments. The capacitor’s high microfarad value delivers the extra phase shift and surge needed to kick-start motors in demanding conditions.
Key Features for Capacitor Start 40-50MF:
- Capacitance range: 40–50 µF for powerful start assistance
- Voltage ratings: commonly 220V, 250V, or up to 350V AC (check product label for exact value)
- Type: Electrolytic start capacitor for short-duty cycles (typically <3–5 seconds)
- Durable plastic or aluminum housing with double terminals and mounting stud
- Frequencies supported: 50/60 Hz
- Wide application: pumps, compressors, HVAC, industrial and domestic appliances
Capacitor Start 40-50MF is ideal for use in applications where reliable, high-torque motor starting is critical. It should be used strictly as a start capacitor, not for continuous run, and must match the motor’s voltage and capacitance requirements for safe, effective operation.
