Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

Replaces any round motor start capacitor with the same capacitance and voltage ratings. Compatible with CD60 type capacitors.

Compatibility & Fitment

  • Designed for single-phase AC electric motor applications requiring a start capacitor within the specified electrical range.
  • Common applications include HVAC systems, air conditioners, compressors, pool pumps, and well pumps.
  • Verify your motor or original capacitor's specifications to ensure compatibility.

When to Replace

  • Motor hums but fails to start or starts slowly.
  • Circuit breaker trips when the motor attempts to start.
  • The existing capacitor is visibly bulging, leaking fluid, or damaged.
  • The motor requires manual assistance to start turning.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect all electrical power to the unit before servicing.
  • Safely discharge the existing capacitor by shorting the terminals with an insulated screwdriver.
  • Confirm the microfarad (uF/MFD) and voltage (VAC) ratings of the replacement match the original part.
  • These capacitors are non-polarized and can be connected without regard to terminal polarity.
  • Ensure all electrical connections are clean and secure.

FAQ

If your air conditioner or motor hums but fails to start, or if the motor trips the breaker immediately upon startup, the start capacitor is often the culprit. Other signs include a motor that struggles to reach full speed or one that overheats due to the inability to generate the necessary torque to begin rotation.
Yes, this capacitor is a universal replacement for units requiring a 161-193 uF (MFD) rating at 220-250 VAC. It is compatible with various industry part numbers, including C161E250, T161-193220, and 091A161B250CE7A.
Before installation, always ensure the power supply to the equipment is completely disconnected. Because capacitors store an electrical charge even when the power is off, you must safely discharge the old capacitor using a resistor or an insulated screwdriver across the terminals before handling it. Additionally, inspect the motor's start switch or centrifugal switch, as a faulty switch can cause a new capacitor to fail prematurely.
This round start capacitor measures approximately 4 3/8 inches in height and 1 13/16 inches in diameter. Please verify that your mounting space can accommodate these dimensions before installation.
Replacing a start capacitor is a straightforward task that typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. You will generally need a screwdriver to remove the access panel and a pair of needle-nose pliers to disconnect the spade terminals. Ensure you note the wiring configuration or take a photo of the existing connections before removing the old unit to ensure the new one is wired identically.
