A start capacitor helps provide a compatible motor with the extra electrical support needed during startup, and this Essex capacitor is designed with a 145 to 175 MFD range for 115 volt applications in an approximate 1-7/16 inch by 2-3/4 inch size. When the original capacitor weakens or fails, motor startup can become less dependable than it should be. The 145 to 175 MFD rating, 115 volt application, and compact dimensions give this part practical value because start capacitors work best when the replacement matches the intended motor’s electrical requirements closely. A properly selected capacitor helps restore intended startup assistance and contributes to smoother motor operation. This type of part is especially useful when the motor remains otherwise serviceable and the starting problem is centered on the capacitor itself. That keeps the repair focused and efficient. Installed in the proper setup, this start capacitor helps restore dependable startup performance and contributes to stronger overall equipment reliability.
