Capacitor Ranges
Three focused ranges covering motor run, motor start and lighting power factor correction.
Motor Start Capacitors 275V
Electrolytic motor start capacitors sized for compressors, pumps and heavier duty single-phase loads, with robust terminals and trade-friendly packaging.
Lighting PFC Capacitors 250V
Lighting power factor correction capacitors (250V AC rated) for HID and discharge lighting, helping improve system power factor and reduce utility penalties on 220–240V installations.
Motor Run Capacitors – Spec Overview
440V AC polypropylene motor run capacitors for continuous duty on single-phase motors. Typical applications include pool and borehole pumps, fans, blowers and compressors.
| µF range | Voltage | Typical application | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2–8µF | 440V AC | Fans, small pumps | Compact can sizes for tight spaces |
| 10–25µF | 440V AC | Pool & circulation pumps | Common domestic and light commercial sizes |
| 30–45µF | 440V AC | Borehole & larger pumps | Suited to higher torque single-phase motors |
| 50–60µF | 440V AC | Heavy-duty, special applications | Check motor nameplate for exact µF required |
Motor Start Capacitors – Spec Overview
Electrolytic motor start capacitors to provide high starting torque for compressors, pumps and heavier single-phase motors. Start duty only – must not be left permanently in circuit.
| µF range | Voltage | Typical application | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 63–108µF | 275V AC | Small compressors, pumps | Short duty surge start |
| 120–189µF | 275V AC | Larger domestic & light commercial motors | Used with centrifugal or potential relay |
| 200–300µF | 275V AC | Heavy single-phase loads | Confirm motor manufacturer recommendations |
Lighting PFC Capacitors – Spec Overview
Power factor correction capacitors (250V AC rated) for HID and discharge lighting, typically wired across the lamp circuit to improve power factor and reduce wasted reactive power on 220–240V installations.
| Application | Voltage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| HID floodlighting | 250V AC | Used with magnetic ballasts to improve system power factor. Check lamp & ballast datasheets. |
| Industrial & warehouse lighting | 250V AC | Helps reduce current draw on long runs and panels. |
| High mast lighting | 250V AC | Selected to match ballast and lamp combination. |
