Capacitor M.S.-Tronik 30 µF 450 V (model 30uFMKP) film electrolytic for motor and power applications

M.S.-Tronik 30 µF 450 V (model 30uFMKP) is a single-component film/electrolytic capacitor specified for applications that require a stable 30 microfarad capacitance at a nominal voltage of 450 volts. The component is intended for motor start and run circuits, power-supply filtering and general AC/DC installations where a compact energy-storage or phase-shift element is needed. Its construction combines film and electrolytic technologies to deliver consistent capacitance and acceptable ripple performance for industrial and consumer equipment.

Advantages

The capacitor offers a precise rated capacitance of 30 µF with a 450 V nominal voltage suitable for a wide range of motor and power circuits. Its film/electrolytic design provides stable electrical characteristics over typical operating conditions and contributes to smoothing, energy buffering and phase-shifting tasks. The single-component format simplifies substitution and installation in retrofit or new-build applications where this capacitance and voltage rating are required.

Suitable for

• Motor start and run circuits in small to medium electric motors
• AC and DC power-supply filtering and decoupling
• Phase-shift networks in motor control and timing circuits
• Energy storage and ripple suppression in industrial equipment

Key specifications

• Capacitance: 30 µF (microfarads)
• Rated voltage: 450 V nominal
• Technology: film/electrolytic hybrid construction
• Intended use: motor start/run, power-supply filtering, phase-shift and energy storage

How to use

Install the capacitor in accordance with the equipment manufacturer’s instructions and standard safety practices for high-voltage components. Ensure correct polarity if the application or capacitor design requires it and maintain proper clearance and insulation for the 450 V rating. Verify that the operating temperature and expected AC ripple are within acceptable limits for the chosen film/electrolytic capacitor type. For motor circuits, connect as specified for start or run functions; for filtering, place across the supply or between stages as required by the circuit design.

Usage recommendations

Confirm compatibility with the target circuit by checking voltage margins, temperature range and expected ripple current. Replace like-for-like when substituting capacitors to preserve performance and safety. If in doubt, consult a qualified technician for high-voltage or motor-drive installations.
