Start Capacitor 88/108 MFD x 250V

Product code: 2702370

These capacitors are used for motor starting only, the length of time in the circuit being controlled by the starting relay. They are designed for intermittent duty and can be damaged if left in the circuit longer than the period prescribed by the maker (usually about 3 seconds duration).

General Information

Model Number	80-108MFD-250V

Technical Information

Application	* Conditions which shorten life and increase failure rate are: * Duty cycle greater than recommended * High operating temperatures running speed * Application of voltages in excess of ratings * Physical damage to case or terminals * Overloading, preventing motor from reaching running speed promptly * Failure of starting switch to open promptly when motor reaches running speed * Worn or frozen motor bearings causing excessive loads on the start cycles * Low line voltage preventing motor from reaching running speed * Incorrect capacitance rating (seldom encountered except where previous replacement was incorrect) * Improper voltage rating (again seldom encountered except where previous replacement was incorrect). A higher voltage rating may be when motor reaches running speed used, but never a lower rating

Failure Modes	* Conditions which shorten life and increase failure rate are: * Duty cycle greater than recommended * High operating temperatures running speed * Application of voltages in excess of ratings * Physical damage to case or terminals * Overloading, preventing motor from reaching running speed promptly * Failure of starting switch to open promptly when motor reaches running speed * Worn or frozen motor bearings causing excessive loads on the start cycles * Low line voltage preventing motor from reaching running speed * Incorrect capacitance rating (seldom encountered except where previous replacement was incorrect) * Improper voltage rating (again seldom encountered except where previous replacement was incorrect). A higher voltage rating may be when motor reaches running speed used, but never a lower rating
Current Type	AC
Information	Replacement Replacement of a defective capacitor should be made by using an equivalent unit. When this is not available, the new unit should have the same capacitance rating and a voltage rating equal to or higher than the defective unit. The motor nameplate voltage bears little or no relationship to the required voltage rating of the capacitor, because the motor designer has several options at his disposal which can determine the rating required. Whenever replacement is attempted, an AC voltmeter should be used to monitor the voltage across the capacitor.
