Compatibility & Fitment

  • Application: Intermittent duty for single-phase AC motor starting circuits
  • Fits fractional horsepower motors requiring a start capacitor with a 216-259 uF range and 330 VAC rating.
  • Physical dimensions are approximately 1.81 in. diameter x 4.38 in. length. Verify measurements for proper fit.

When to Replace

  • Motor hums but struggles or fails to start.
  • Motor requires manual assistance to begin rotation.
  • Capacitor case is visibly bulging, cracked, or leaking oil.
  • Capacitance measures outside the rated 216-259 uF range when tested.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect all electrical power to the unit before performing service.
  • Safely discharge the old capacitor by shorting its terminals with a resistor or insulated tool.
  • Note the wire positions before disconnecting the original part.
  • Ensure the replacement capacitor's voltage rating (VAC) is equal to or greater than the original.
  • Match the capacitance range (uF/MFD) to the motor's requirement.

FAQ

If your motor hums but fails to reach full speed, or if it trips the circuit breaker immediately upon startup, the capacitor is likely the culprit. Other signs include the motor failing to start entirely or a burning smell coming from the capacitor housing.
This unit is a direct replacement for various industry-standard start capacitors, including MARS 11969, Titan Pro TRMJ216, Packard PRMJ216, and Capacitor Industries 100368-01 (CD60B-3CJ216259R-M1).
No. You must match the MFD (microfarad) range and the VAC (voltage) rating exactly. Using a capacitor with a significantly different MFD rating can prevent the motor from starting or cause it to overheat, while a lower voltage rating can lead to premature failure or a safety hazard.
Installation is generally straightforward and takes about 15 to 30 minutes. You will need a screwdriver to remove the access panel and a pair of needle-nose pliers to disconnect the spade terminals. Always ensure the power is completely disconnected and discharge the old capacitor with a resistor or insulated screwdriver before touching the terminals to avoid electrical shock.
Before installing the new part, inspect the motor for any signs of seizure or binding. Additionally, check the wiring connections for any corrosion or melting. If the motor itself is faulty or the start switch is stuck, a new capacitor will not resolve the issue and may be damaged by the underlying electrical fault.
