Capacitor throw 2.2 kW 230 V 70 µ 18 A

Brand: Other | SKU: 023-556

High-performance **70 µF capacitor** designed for use with **single-phase AC motors** and equipment up to **2.2 kW**. Built for reliable motor starting and improved running power factor, this capacitor suits pumps, compressors, HVAC fans, washing machines and other **230 V** motor applications. The compact film construction provides stable capacitance, low loss and long service life under normal operating conditions.

Key specifications

• Capacitance: **70 µF**
• Nominal supply: **230 V** (as specified)
• Rated operating current / inrush guidance: **18 A** (application dependent)
• Typical construction: **metallized polypropylene film** (motor run/start style)
• Form factor: cylindrical or rectangular motor capacitor housing

This **70 µF value** is commonly used for **motor start** (and some start/run) applications for motors around the **2–2.25 kW (≈3 HP)** range; always match the capacitor type (start vs run) and voltage rating to your motor’s requirements before installation. Examples of commercially available 70 µF motor capacitors use **CBB-style film construction** with AC voltage ratings often **370–450 VAC** for durability in motor circuits.

Features & benefits

• Improved motor starting torque and smoother acceleration
• Enhanced power factor and reduced motor heating when used as specified
• Robust film dielectric for long-term stability and low dissipation
• Easy to install with wire leads or quick-connect terminals

Compatibility notes: verify whether your motor requires a **start capacitor** (short-duration high µF) or a continuous-duty **run capacitor**, and ensure the capacitor’s **AC voltage rating** meets or exceeds the system voltage to maintain safety and longevity. For sourcing equivalents, motor capacitor product listings and electronics suppliers provide CBB60 / motor-run 70 µF options with various terminal styles and mounting choices.
