Smartele 233-292 Start Capacitor 110 Volts

Product Description

The SMARTELE 233-292 is a start capacitor rated at 110 volts, designed to provide the initial torque boost needed to start single-phase electric motors. Start capacitors are wired into the start winding circuit and disconnect from the circuit once the motor reaches operating speed. This part is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, or refrigeration mechanics servicing motors in compressors, fans, pumps, and other single-phase motor-driven equipment. The 233-292 designation indicates a microfarad range rather than a fixed value, which is standard for start capacitor identification.

Start capacitors in the 233-292 microfarad range are commonly used in residential and light commercial applications. Typical install scenarios include replacement service on compressor motors, condenser fan motors, and other single-phase induction motors that require an external start capacitor for adequate starting torque. This capacitor is suited for motor start duty cycles where the capacitor is energized briefly during startup and then taken out of the circuit by a start relay.

Key Features

• Rated for 110 volt motor start applications
• Microfarad range rating of 233 to 292 MFD supports a variety of motor starting requirements
• Designed for intermittent start duty cycle use only, not continuous run service
• Cylindrical form factor typical of standard motor start capacitors for easy replacement fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement start capacitor for single-phase electric motors requiring a 233 to 292 MFD, 110 volt start capacitor.

Installation Notes

Start capacitors must be installed by a qualified electrician or HVAC technician following applicable NEC guidelines. Always disconnect and lock out power to the equipment before handling any capacitor. Capacitors can retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed - discharge the capacitor safely before handling. Do not use a start capacitor as a run capacitor; they are rated for intermittent duty only.
