Capacitor throw 1.5 kW 230 V 55 µ 13 A

Brand: Other  |  SKU: 023-554

This **55 µF motor capacitor** is engineered for **single‑phase motor support** and **HVAC applications** where a reliable run/start capacitance is required for **1.5 kW (≈2 HP) class motors**. It helps improve **starting torque**, stabilizes motor operation under load, and is commonly used on fans, compressors, pumps and other household and light‑industrial motors.

Key specifications

• Capacitance: **55 µF**
• Nominal supply: **230 V** (use correct rated AC voltage per motor spec)
• Rated current: **13 A** (application dependent)
• Intended power class: **1.5 kW motors** and similar single‑phase loads

Features & benefits

• Stable **polypropylene/film construction** for low loss and long life
• Designed for **continuous duty** as a run capacitor or as specified by the motor manufacturer
• Compact round can style for easy replacement and retrofit in HVAC units and motor housings
• Improves torque, reduces overheating and smooths motor performance

Note on selection: run and start capacitors serve different roles—run capacitors remain in circuit to maintain running torque while start capacitors provide short‑term boost during startup. Verify whether your motor requires a run, start, or dual capacitor and always **match or exceed the capacitor’s voltage rating** compared to supply to ensure safe operation.

Replacement & compatibility tips: many 55 µF capacitors are sold for HVAC and motor applications; check physical dimensions, terminal type (quick‑connect tabs or leads), and voltage rating (many common replacements list **370–440 V AC ratings** for safety margin). When in doubt match the **µF value** and choose an equal or higher voltage rating from a reputable supplier.

This product is an economical, readily available solution for motor maintenance, HVAC repair and retrofit projects—ideal for technicians, maintenance staff and DIYers seeking a dependable **55 µF, 230 V class capacitor** for **1.5 kW applications**.
