216-259 uF/MFD 220-250V Round Start Capacitor

Key Features

  • Capacitance: 216-259 µF/MFD
  • Voltage Rating: 220-250 VAC
  • Frequency: 50/60 Hz
  • Capacitance Tolerance: ±20%
  • Terminals: 1/4 inch dual male spade
  • Shape: Round
  • Housing: Moisture and oil-resistant molded case

Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

  • SC0080
  • CS216-259X220
  • CD60 (type)
  • Replaces any start capacitor with matching capacitance and voltage specifications.

Compatibility & Fitment

  • Designed for single-phase AC motor starting applications.
  • Suitable for HVAC units, air compressors, well pumps, fans, and other electric motors.
  • Compatible with systems requiring a start capacitor rated for 216-259 MFD and 220V, 230V, or 250V.

When to Replace

  • Motor hums but fails to start or experiences slow start-up.
  • Circuit breaker trips when the motor attempts to start.
  • Visible damage to the existing capacitor, such as bulging, cracking, or fluid leakage.
  • Capacitance measures outside the specified tolerance range when tested.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect all electrical power to the equipment before installation.
  • Safely discharge the old capacitor by shorting the terminals with a resistor or an insulated tool.
  • Confirm the µF/MFD and voltage ratings match the component being replaced.
  • Connect wires to terminals. AC start capacitors are non-polarized; wire order does not matter.
  • Secure the capacitor with the original mounting bracket.

FAQ

A failing start capacitor is often the culprit when a motor hums but fails to reach full speed, or fails to start entirely. You may also notice the motor tripping its thermal overload protector or experiencing frequent 'hard starts.' If the capacitor casing appears bulging, cracked, or shows signs of leaking fluid, it must be replaced immediately.
This 216-259 uF start capacitor is designed for use in a wide range of AC motor applications, including HVAC systems, compressors, heat pumps, and industrial pumps. It serves as a universal replacement for units requiring a 216-259 uF rating at 220-250 VAC, including cross-references for part number 091A216B250CE7A and 091A216B250CE7AX.
No. You must match the MFD (microfarad) rating specified on your original capacitor. Using a capacitor with a significantly different MFD rating can prevent the motor from starting correctly or cause the motor windings to overheat, leading to permanent damage.
Installation typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. You will need a screwdriver to access the capacitor housing and a pair of insulated needle-nose pliers to remove the spade terminals. Always ensure the power is disconnected before beginning. Because capacitors store an electrical charge, use an insulated screwdriver to safely discharge the old capacitor by bridging the terminals before handling it.
The voltage rating indicates the maximum voltage the capacitor is designed to handle. This capacitor is rated for 220-250 VAC, which is standard for the motor circuits found in residential and light commercial HVAC and compressor equipment. Never use a capacitor with a lower voltage rating than the original, though using one with a higher voltage rating is generally acceptable.
Before installing, inspect the motor's centrifugal switch and wiring connections. If the motor is seized or the start switch is stuck, a new capacitor will not resolve the issue and may be damaged immediately upon installation. Ensure the mounting area is clean and free of debris to allow for proper heat dissipation.
