Traulsen 334-60411-14 Compressor Start Capacitor 165V

Product Description

The TRAULSEN 334-60411-14 is a compressor start capacitor designed for Copeland compressors in commercial refrigeration equipment. It operates at 165 volts AC with a capacitance range of 145 to 175 microfarads (MFD) and is rated for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz power systems. Start capacitors provide the high-torque surge needed to bring a compressor motor from rest to operating speed, then drop out of the circuit once the motor is running. This part is installed by commercial refrigeration technicians and HVAC-R service professionals during compressor service or replacement.

This capacitor is suited for commercial refrigeration applications where Copeland compressors are used, including reach-in coolers, prep tables, undercounter units, and similar equipment commonly found in foodservice and food retail environments. Its 50/60 Hz compatibility makes it appropriate for use across standard North American commercial power installations.

Key Features

• Capacitance range of 145 to 175 MFD covers typical Copeland compressor start requirements
• Rated for 165 volts AC operation
• Compatible with both 50 Hz and 60 Hz electrical systems
• OEM Traulsen part number for direct replacement confidence
• Designed specifically for compressor start-circuit duty, not run-circuit applications

Compatibility

Specified for use with Copeland compressors in Traulsen commercial refrigeration equipment. Consult the unit service manual or compressor nameplate to confirm capacitance and voltage requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC-R technician or commercial refrigeration mechanic. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the unit before handling capacitors, as start capacitors can retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed — discharge the capacitor safely before touching terminals. Verify that the replacement capacitor voltage rating meets or exceeds the original and that the MFD range falls within the compressor manufacturer's specification. Follow applicable local electrical codes and the equipment manufacturer's service documentation throughout the repair.
