Rectorseal M11017 Motor Start Capacitor 216-259 Mfd 110/125V

Product Description

The RECTORSEAL M11017 is a round motor start capacitor rated at 216-259 microfarads (MFD) and 110/125 volts, designed to provide the starting torque boost that single-phase motors require during startup. Built with a phenolic composition and rated for 50/60 Hz systems, this capacitor handles up to 40 starts per hour, making it well-suited to the duty cycles common in HVAC and refrigeration applications. The operating temperature range spans -40 degrees F to 149 degrees F (equivalent to -40 degrees C to 65 degrees C), giving it reliable performance across a wide range of ambient conditions. HVAC technicians and refrigeration service pros are the primary installers.

This capacitor is recommended for use in residential and commercial air conditioning systems and refrigeration equipment where a motor start capacitor is required. Its 110/125-volt rating covers the supply voltages typically found in single-phase compressor and fan motor circuits in these applications. The round form factor and two-terminal design fit standard capacitor mounting arrangements found across a broad range of equipment.

Key Features

• 216-259 MFD rating provides the high capacitance needed for reliable motor starting
• 110/125-volt operating voltage suits common single-phase residential and light commercial circuits
• Phenolic composition for durable, heat-resistant construction
• Rated for up to 40 starts per hour, appropriate for typical AC and refrigeration duty cycles
• Wide temperature range: -40 degrees C to 65 degrees C maximum rating
• Round shape with 2-terminal configuration for straightforward installation

Compatibility

Recommended for use in residential and commercial air conditioning and refrigeration motor circuits requiring a motor start capacitor rated at 216-259 MFD and 110/125 volts.

Installation Notes

Motor start capacitors are installed by qualified HVAC technicians or refrigeration mechanics. Always disconnect and lock out power to the unit before removing or installing a capacitor, and discharge the existing capacitor safely before handling. Verify that the replacement MFD range and voltage rating match or are compatible with the original equipment specification before installation. Follow all applicable local electrical codes and the equipment manufacturer's service instructions.
