Value Collection 11917 Motor Capacitor 216-259 Mfd

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 11917 is a motor run capacitor rated at 216 to 259 microfarads (MFD) and designed for use at 110 to 125 volts. Motor capacitors store and release electrical energy to maintain steady phase relationships in single-phase AC motors, improving torque and reducing current draw. This unit is a passive electrical component installed in series with a motor winding and is commonly serviced by licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and motor repair professionals. At 0.2 pounds, it is a lightweight, compact component suited for a range of motor applications.

This capacitor is appropriate for single-phase AC motors found in light industrial, commercial, and residential equipment. Typical installation scenarios include motor replacement or capacitor-only service calls where the existing capacitor has failed, drifted out of tolerance, or been damaged. It is packaged as a single unit, making it practical for individual repair jobs as well as small service inventories.

Key Features

• 216 to 259 MFD capacitance range suits motors requiring a higher-MFD run capacitor
• Rated for 110 to 125 volt single-phase AC circuits
• Lightweight at 0.2 pounds for easy handling and installation in tight motor compartments
• Single-unit packaging supports both single repair calls and stocked service vans

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for single-phase AC motors requiring a run capacitor in the 216 to 259 MFD range at 110 to 125 volts. Confirm the existing capacitor rating and voltage before installation.

Installation Notes

Capacitor replacement is typically performed by a licensed electrician or qualified HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the motor and equipment before handling any capacitor, as capacitors can retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed — discharge the capacitor safely using an appropriate resistive discharge tool before touching terminals. Verify that the replacement MFD rating and voltage rating match the motor nameplate specifications before energizing the circuit.
