Start-up capacitor CD60, 450V, 300uF

The CD60 type starting electrolytic capacitor is designed for short-term operation in starting circuits of single-phase asynchronous motors. It is used to increase the starting torque of the motor in applications where the capacitor is connected only during starting.

Technical specifications

• Type: starting capacitor (CD60)
• Capacitance: 300 µF
• Rated voltage: 450 V AC
• Body dimensions: 100 x 50 mm
• Construction: plastic case, electrolytic capacitor
• Connection: wires with lugs (spike termination)

Functions and features

• Intended for engine start mode, not for permanent connection while running
• Suitable for starting circuits with centrifugal switch, relay or electronic switching
• Compact cylindrical design for installation in control cabinets and engine compartments

Ideal for

• Starting circuits of single-phase electric motors
• Compressors, pumps, fans and other equipment with higher start-up requirements
• Service replacement of starting capacitors in motor applications

Package contents

• 1 pc of capacitor CD60 300 µF / 450 V AC

Why choose this product?

• Clearly defined capacity, voltage and dimension parameters for compatible replacement
• Design designed for starting applications with short-term loads
• Simple connection using wires with screw terminal terminations

Installation and operating instructions

• Before installation, verify that the capacitance (µF), rated voltage (VAC) and dimensions match the original part.
• Install the capacitor in the circuit only as a starting element with switching (relay/centrifugal switch/electronics) so that it is not permanently connected while the motor is running.
• Ensure mechanical fastening so that the terminals are not subjected to vibration.

Safety notice

• The product is designed to operate with hazardous alternating voltage of 450 V AC. Installation should only be carried out with the power disconnected and by a qualified person.
• Discharge the capacitor safely before handling; it may remain charged even after disconnection.
• Do not exceed the rated voltage and do not use the capacitor outside the designated starting mode.
