Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

  • CD60
  • BC-270
  • Replaces any start capacitor with matching capacitance, voltage, and frequency specifications.

Compatibility & Fitment

  • Designed for starting fractional horsepower, single-phase AC electric motors.
  • Common applications include HVAC units, air compressors, well pumps, refrigeration units, and fans.
  • Fit is universal for applications requiring a 270-324 MFD capacitor at 110V to 125V.

When to Replace

  • Motor hums but fails to start or starts slowly.
  • Circuit breaker trips repeatedly upon motor startup.
  • Visible damage to the existing capacitor, such as bulging, cracking, or leaking fluid.
  • Capacitance measures outside the specified tolerance range when tested with a multimeter.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect all electrical power to the equipment before beginning installation.
  • Safely discharge the old capacitor by shorting the terminals with an insulated tool.
  • Confirm the new capacitor's MFD and VAC ratings match the component being replaced.
  • As a non-polarized component, wires can be connected to either terminal.
  • Securely mount the capacitor to prevent vibration and ensure firm wire connections.

FAQ

If your motor hums but fails to reach full speed, trips the breaker upon startup, or refuses to start entirely, the start capacitor is often the culprit. You may also notice a burning smell, a bulging or leaking capacitor casing, or a rattling sound inside the capacitor when it is shaken.
This is a universal-fit capacitor designed for AC motors requiring a 270-324 MFD rating at 110-125 VAC. Before purchasing, verify the MFD (microfarad) and voltage ratings printed on your existing capacitor. As long as your motor specifications match these values, this unit will function correctly regardless of the pump brand.
Always inspect the motor's centrifugal switch. If the switch is stuck in the 'open' position, it will prevent the start capacitor from engaging, which can cause the new capacitor to fail prematurely. Additionally, ensure the motor windings are not shorted or grounded, as these issues can also lead to capacitor damage.
Installation is straightforward and typically takes 15-30 minutes. You will need a screwdriver to access the motor housing and a pair of needle-nose pliers to disconnect the existing terminals. This capacitor features standard 1/4" male terminals for a quick slide-on connection.
Yes. Capacitors store an electrical charge even when the power is disconnected. Before touching the terminals, use an insulated screwdriver to bridge the two terminals together to safely discharge any remaining energy. Always ensure the power source is completely disconnected before beginning work.
This capacitor is designed specifically for starting circuits. It is intended to be in the circuit only for the brief moment the motor is accelerating to operating speed. It should not be used in 'run' capacitor applications, as it is not built to handle continuous electrical current and will overheat if left in the circuit.
