Description
Overview:
This 60 μF electric capacitor is a robust, cylindrical replacement part for restoring electrical stability in a wide range of machinery using single‐phase AC motors. It is designed to replace failed or weak condensers that cause hard starting, tripping, or uneven running. The unit measures 50 mm in diameter and 117 mm in height, and mounts securely via an M8 stud for straightforward installation in control boxes or motor housings. As a non‐polarised AC motor capacitor, it is suitable for run circuits and phase‐shift duties in equipment such as compressors, pumps, fans, saw benches, concrete mixers, and other industrial or garden machinery. Identified by MPN 231 620 (also referenced as 231620), it provides a like‐for‐like swap where a 60 μF rating is specified and the physical size suits the space available.
Key Features:
- 60 μF capacitance to support single‐phase AC motor performance and stability
- Non‐polarised design suitable for AC motor run/phase‐shift applications
- Compact body: 50 mm diameter x 117 mm height for easy enclosure fitment
- M8 mounting stud for secure, vibration‐resistant installation
- Helps restore starting torque and smooth, efficient running when the original capacitor fails
- Durable construction aimed at long service life in workshop or site conditions
- Stable operation helps reduce motor overheating and nuisance trips caused by a weak capacitor
- Versatile replacement where 60 μF is specified and dimensions match the original part
- Referenced by MPN 231 620 for easy cross‐checking with service documentation
Typical Applications:
Used on single‐phase machinery to replace faulty capacitors in motor run circuits, including air compressors, water pumps, pressure systems, fans and blowers, woodworking machines, conveyor drives, concrete mixers, and various garden or light‐industrial equipment. Ideal where reliable starting, smoother running, and consistent torque are required after a capacitor failure.
Also known as:
Motor capacitor, AC run capacitor, phase‐shift capacitor, PSC motor capacitor, condenser, electrical condenser, power factor capacitor, auxiliary winding capacitor.
