Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

  • Universal replacement for start capacitors with matching electrical specifications.
  • Common model series include CD60 and CD60B.
  • Can replace parts such as C1551648.

Compatibility & Fitment

  • For use with single-phase AC electric motors requiring a start capacitor.
  • Suitable for applications including HVAC units, air compressors, well pumps, and other motorized equipment.
  • Verify fitment by matching the Mfd/uF, VAC, and Hz ratings of the original capacitor. Physical dimensions should also be checked for proper mounting.

When to Replace

  • The motor hums but will not start or turn over.
  • The motor starts slowly or requires manual assistance to begin rotating.
  • The circuit breaker trips repeatedly during motor startup.
  • The existing capacitor shows physical signs of failure, such as bulging, leaking fluid, or cracks in the casing.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect all electrical power to the equipment before beginning service.
  • Carefully discharge the existing capacitor by shorting the terminals with a properly insulated screwdriver or a suitable resistor.
  • Note or photograph the original wire connections before removal.
  • The replacement capacitor's VAC rating must be equal to or greater than the original. Do not use a lower voltage rating.
  • The Mfd/uF rating must fall within the range specified by the motor manufacturer.

FAQ

A failing start capacitor typically manifests as the motor humming or buzzing when you attempt to start it, but failing to reach full speed or failing to turn over entirely. In some cases, the motor may trip the circuit breaker immediately upon startup. If you notice a burnt smell, a bulging top on the capacitor casing, or if the motor requires a manual 'spin' to get going, the capacitor is likely at the end of its service life.
Yes. This capacitor is rated for 250 VAC, which means it can safely be used in applications requiring 250 VAC or lower, such as 125 VAC systems. It is important, however, that the microfarad (uF/MFD) rating matches your motor's original specifications as closely as possible to ensure proper starting torque.
This CD60 round capacitor measures approximately 45mm in diameter and 85mm in height. Before purchasing, verify that your motor's capacitor housing has sufficient clearance to accommodate these dimensions, as start capacitors are often tightly fitted within the motor's end bell or external capacitor box.
Safety is critical when working with capacitors. Even when disconnected from power, capacitors can hold a significant electrical charge. Before touching the terminals, use an insulated screwdriver to short across the terminals to discharge any remaining energy. Additionally, ensure the power supply to the equipment is completely disconnected and locked out.
If the motor still fails to start after installing a new capacitor, check the centrifugal switch inside the motor. This switch is designed to disconnect the start capacitor once the motor reaches a certain speed; if the switch is stuck in the open position, the capacitor will not engage, and the motor will not start. Also, inspect the motor windings for signs of overheating or shorting.
