Potential relays sense the back-EMF generated by the start winding as the motor accelerates, then drop out the start capacitor once the motor reaches operating speed. This controlled switching protects the start capacitor from continuous duty and ensures a clean, repeatable start sequence. The p82968 is installed by HVAC and refrigeration technicians during compressor service or motor starting component replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis relay is suited for residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning applications where single-phase hermetic compressors require external start-assist components. It is cited as equivalent to the Mars 68 potential relay, making it a recognized cross-reference for technicians sourcing replacement starting components in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePotential relay design for hermetic compressor start-winding circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrops start capacitor out of circuit once motor reaches operating speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCited as equivalent to Mars 68 potential relay\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for residential and light commercial refrigeration and AC systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEquivalent to the Mars 68 potential relay.

Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before handling starting components. Verify the replacement relay coil voltage ratings are compatible with the existing compressor start winding before energizing the circuit.
