A start capacitor helps support the initial starting phase of a compatible motor by supplying additional electrical energy, and this Essex capacitor is designed with a 216 to 259 MFD range for 115 volt applications. When the original capacitor becomes weak or unreliable, startup support can fall below the level the motor should have. The 216 to 259 MFD range, 115 volt design, and approximate 1-7/16 inch by 2-3/4 inch size give this part practical value because start capacitors work best when the replacement matches the original motor specifications and fit requirements. A properly selected capacitor helps restore intended startup assistance and contributes to more dependable system operation. This type of part is especially useful when the motor remains serviceable and the repair is centered on the capacitor alone. That keeps maintenance efficient and direct. Installed in the proper setup, this start capacitor helps restore dependable startup performance and contributes to stronger motor reliability overall.
