Capacitor KEMOT LEC-URZ3130 10 µF 450 V for single-phase motors

KEMOT LEC-URZ3130 is a motor-run capacitor with a nominal capacitance of 10 µF and a rated voltage of 450 V, designed for single-phase electric motor applications. It supplies reactive power to improve phase shift between windings, supporting both motor starting and continuous operation. The capacitor is intended as a replacement component in motor capacitor circuits where a 10 µF/450 V specification is required, commonly found in ventilation fans, water pumps and various household motor-driven appliances.

Advantages

This capacitor offers a compact solution for restoring or maintaining correct motor performance by delivering stable capacitance under normal operating voltage. Its 450 V rating provides a margin suitable for many single-phase motor circuits, while the 10 µF value matches common requirements for phase-shifting and torque improvement. The component is designed for straightforward replacement in existing capacitor holders and motor assemblies without altering motor wiring or control components when specifications match.

Suitable for

• Replacement in single-phase fan motors
• Replacement in domestic and small commercial water pumps
• Household appliances with single-phase induction motors (e.g., compressors, blowers)

Key specifications

• Capacitance: 10 µF (microfarads)
• Rated voltage: 450 V AC
• Application type: motor-run capacitor for single-phase motors
• Function: reactive power support for starting and running, phase shift improvement

How to use

Before replacing a capacitor, disconnect electrical power and follow safety procedures for working on motor circuits. Verify that the motor requires a 10 µF, 450 V capacitor by checking the motor nameplate or the existing capacitor markings. Fit the KEMOT LEC-URZ3130 into the capacitor clip or housing, ensuring correct polarity is observed when applicable and secure all electrical connections. After installation, restore power and test the motor for correct starting torque and steady running performance.

Usage recommendations

Use this capacitor only in circuits where the capacitance and rated voltage match motor requirements. Avoid installing damaged or visibly degraded capacitors and replace capacitors showing bulging, leakage, or corrosion. For safety and longevity, perform installation and maintenance with the power isolated and, if uncertain, seek a qualified electrician or service technician.
