Capacitor Start 200-250UF is specifically engineered to provide powerful starting torque for single-phase induction motors by delivering a surge of electrical energy during start-up. With a capacitance range of 200–250 microfarads (µF) and a typical voltage rating between 250V and 330V AC (50/60 Hz), these non-polarized electrolytic capacitors are intermittently connected to the motor circuit through a relay or centrifugal switch and are removed from the circuit once the motor reaches running speed. The durable cylindrical housing, often with terminal connections and mounting brackets, is built to withstand short bursts of load and temperature fluctuations from -40°C to +65°C.
Capacitor Start 200-250UF is not intended for continuous operation and must only be used as a start capacitor in single-phase electric motors. It is commonly used in applications such as pumps, compressors, HVAC systems, and other equipment requiring significant starting torque. The precise, high-capacitance range ensures effective phase shift for rapid and smooth motor start-up.
