Rectorseal M11016 Motor Start Capacitor 200-240 Mfd 110/125V

Product Description

The RECTORSEAL M11016 is a round motor start capacitor rated at 200-240 microfarads (MFD) and 110/125 volts, designed for single-phase induction motors in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Built with a phenolic composition housing, this capacitor delivers the high-torque starting boost that compressor and fan motors require during startup. It is rated for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz applications, making it suitable for a wide range of HVAC and refrigeration equipment. HVAC technicians and refrigeration service pros install this capacitor as part of motor start circuit service or replacement work.

The M11016 is recommended for use in residential and commercial AC and refrigeration applications. Its 200-240 MFD range accommodates motor start requirements across a broad segment of single-phase compressor and motor loads. With a rated maximum of 40 starts per hour, it is well-suited for systems that cycle frequently in both light commercial and residential service environments. The round form factor fits standard capacitor brackets and enclosures common in split-system condensers and refrigeration units.

• Compatible with 50/60 Hz systems for broad application flexibility
• Round shape fits standard capacitor mounting hardware and enclosures

Compatibility

Recommended for use in residential and commercial air conditioning and refrigeration systems requiring a round motor start capacitor rated at 200-240 MFD and 110/125 volts.

Installation Notes

Motor start capacitors are installed by licensed HVAC technicians or refrigeration service professionals. Always disconnect and lock out power to the unit before handling capacitors, as they can retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed — discharge the capacitor safely before touching terminals. Verify the MFD rating, voltage rating, and terminal configuration match the equipment nameplate and original capacitor specifications before installation. Follow applicable NEC guidelines and local codes when servicing motor start circuits.
