Rectorseal M11014 Motor Start Capacitor 161-193 Mfd

Product Description

The RECTORSEAL M11014 is a round motor start capacitor rated at 161-193 microfarads (MFD) and 110/125 volts, designed to provide the starting torque boost required by single-phase induction motors in HVAC and refrigeration equipment. Built with a phenolic composition housing, this start capacitor is engineered for demanding duty cycles, supporting up to 40 starts per hour. It operates across a wide temperature range from -40 degrees F to 149 degrees F (equivalent to -40 to 65 degrees C), making it suitable for installations exposed to extreme ambient conditions. Licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics are the primary installers for this component type.

The M11014 is recommended for residential and commercial air conditioning and refrigeration applications where single-phase compressor or blower motors require a start capacitor to initiate rotation. Its 50/60 Hz rating makes it compatible with standard North American electrical systems as well as select international equipment. The round form factor and dual-terminal design fit a wide range of motor capacitor mounting configurations found in condensing units, refrigeration compressors, and fan motor assemblies.

Key Features

• 161-193 MFD capacitance range accommodates varying motor start requirements
• Rated for 110/125 volts to match common single-phase motor start circuits
• Phenolic composition housing provides durability in high-cycle applications
• Supports up to 40 starts per hour for high-demand duty cycles
• Wide operating temperature range: -40 to 65 degrees C (-40 to 149 degrees F)
• Round shape with 2 terminals for straightforward motor wiring connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement motor start capacitor for residential and commercial AC and refrigeration equipment requiring a 161-193 MFD, 110/125-volt round start capacitor with a 2-terminal configuration.

Installation Notes

Motor start capacitors must be installed by a qualified HVAC technician or refrigeration mechanic. Always disconnect and lock out power to the unit before removing or replacing the capacitor, and discharge any stored voltage from the existing capacitor before handling. Verify that the replacement MFD range and voltage rating match the motor nameplate specifications before installation. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for electrical connections and equipment service procedures.
