Description
Overview:
This 60μF motor run capacitor is a cylindrical, stud-mounted component for single‐phase AC machinery in workshops, construction sites, and gardens. Built with a polypropylene film dielectric for low losses and stable performance, it provides a dependable 60 microfarads capacitance at 450V AC. Typical uses include driving induction motors in equipment such as cement mixers and water pumps, helping the motor start smoothly and run efficiently. The compact body measures 40mm diameter by 117mm length for easy placement in crowded control boxes. With a non‐polarised design and tight ±5% tolerance, it supports consistent phase shift and torque across a wide operating temperature range. It is suitable for maintenance and repair where reliable, long‐life motor support is required.
Key Features:
- 60μF capacitance with ±5% tolerance for consistent motor performance
- Rated at 450V AC for robust use on common single‐phase supplies
- Polypropylene film dielectric for low dissipation and long service life
- Stud-mount can for secure, vibration-resistant fixing in machinery
- Non-polarised AC design suited to induction motor running circuits
- Compact size: 40mm diameter x 117mm length for tight spaces
- Operating temperature range: -25°C to +85°C for year-round reliability
- IP00 rating: install within a suitable enclosure or control box
- Durable construction to withstand frequent starts and duty cycles
- Helps reduce motor humming, improves starting torque, and smooths running
Typical Applications:
Used in single-phase induction motors found in cement mixers, pressure washers, air compressors, fans and blowers, water pumps, log splitters, saw benches, and similar plant or garden machinery. Ideal for replacing aged or weak run capacitors to restore correct phase shift, torque, and efficiency. Suitable for preventative maintenance and repairs in domestic, trade, and light industrial settings.
