400-480 uf/MFD 165 VAC Round Motor Start Capacitor 50/60 Hz AC

Key Features

  • Capacitance: 400-480 Microfarad (uF/MFD)
  • Voltage Rating: 165 VAC
  • Frequency: 50/60 Hz
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C to 65°C (-40°F to 149°F)
  • Case Dimensions: 1.78 in Diameter x 3.33 in Height
  • Terminals: 1/4 in male quick-connect
  • Construction: Moisture and oil-resistant case, PCB-free
  • Type: Dry, non-polarized electrolytic

Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

  • Replaces any round motor start capacitor with the same capacitance (400-480 uF) and voltage (165V or lower) ratings.
  • Commonly replaces capacitors with model type CD60 that match these electrical specifications.

Compatibility & Fitment

  • Designed for starting single-phase AC electric motors.
  • Suitable for fractional horsepower motor applications.
  • Commonly used in HVAC units, air conditioners, compressors, well pumps, and other motor-driven equipment.

When to Replace

  • Motor hums but fails to start or starts slowly.
  • Motor starter relay trips or cycles repeatedly.
  • Visible signs of damage, such as a bulging or leaking capacitor case.
  • Capacitance measures outside the rated 400-480 uF range when tested.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect all electrical power to the unit before performing any service.
  • Safely discharge the old capacitor by shorting the terminals with a resistor or an insulated tool.
  • Match the microfarad (uF/MFD) rating of the new capacitor to the original part.
  • Ensure the voltage rating of the new capacitor is equal to or greater than the original. Do not use a lower voltage rating.
  • This is a non-polarized AC capacitor; wires can be connected to either terminal.

FAQ

If your motor hums but fails to start, struggles to reach full speed, or trips the circuit breaker upon startup, the capacitor is likely failing. You may also notice the motor overheating or a burning smell coming from the capacitor housing.
Yes, this is a universal CD60 round motor start capacitor suitable for a wide range of single-phase AC motor applications, including air compressors, water pumps, heat pumps, and electric fan motors, provided the electrical specifications match your equipment's requirements.
Always ensure the power supply is completely disconnected before touching the capacitor. Since capacitors store an electrical charge, you must safely discharge the old unit using an insulated screwdriver across the terminals before removal. Additionally, inspect the motor for signs of seized bearings or mechanical resistance, as these can cause premature capacitor failure.
The 400-480 uF (microfarad) rating determines the amount of energy provided to the motor during startup. The 165 VAC rating is the maximum voltage the capacitor is designed to handle. It is critical to match these ratings to your motor's original specifications to prevent motor damage or capacitor rupture.
Installation is generally straightforward for those comfortable with basic electrical work. You will typically need a screwdriver to open the housing and a pair of needle-nose pliers to disconnect and reconnect the spade terminals. The process usually takes 15 to 30 minutes. If you are not confident working with electrical components, consult a professional technician.
