Motors and Armatures 11068 Start Capacitor 189-227 Mfd 330V

Product Description

The MOTORS AND ARMATURES 11068 is a start capacitor rated at 189-227 microfarads (MFD) and 330 volts, designed to provide the starting torque boost required by single-phase AC motors in HVAC and refrigeration equipment. Start capacitors store and release an electrical charge during motor startup, allowing the motor to reach operating speed before the capacitor is switched out of the circuit. This unit is a direct service replacement installed by HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics on compressors, condenser fan motors, and other single-phase motor applications where high starting torque is needed.

This start capacitor is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, including air conditioners, heat pumps, and refrigeration units that rely on single-phase motors requiring an external start capacitor in the run circuit. It is typically found in equipment using a potential relay or hard start kit arrangement. The 189-227 MFD range and 330-volt rating make it appropriate for a range of motor horsepower ratings commonly encountered in field service work.

Key Features

• 189-227 MFD capacitance range supports a variety of single-phase motor starting requirements
• 330-volt rating suitable for standard residential and light commercial HVAC applications
• Designed for use as an OEM-style service replacement start capacitor
• Compatible with potential relay and hard start kit configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement start capacitor for single-phase motors in residential and light commercial HVAC, heat pump, and refrigeration equipment requiring a 189-227 MFD, 330-volt start capacitor.

Installation Notes

Start capacitors are installed by licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics. Disconnect and lock out all power to the equipment before servicing capacitors, as capacitors retain a charge even after power is removed and must be safely discharged prior to handling. Verify that the replacement MFD range and voltage rating meet or exceed the original equipment specification before installation. Follow applicable NEC and local electrical codes when servicing motor starting components.
