Capacitor Rebel URZ3211 16µF 450V – Electrolytic/Film (motor start/AC applications)

Rebel URZ3211 is a 16µF, 450V capacitor designed for AC applications such as motor start circuits, sections of power factor correction, and other high-voltage switching environments. The component combines electrolytic/film characteristics intended to handle pulse-prone loads and provide reliable capacitance where a 16µF/450V unit is required. Its construction suits installation in industrial control equipment, motor starters and repair or replacement tasks in systems that demand robust start-up energy delivery.

Advantages

The capacitor offers a nominal 16µF capacitance at a 450V AC-rated envelope, suitable for alternating-current motor start duties and similar transient conditions. Its design addresses switching and pulse stresses through stable dielectric behavior and mechanical packaging that supports typical panel or chassis mounting. The combination of electrolytic and film characteristics provides balance between energy density and stable performance under repeated start cycles.

Suitable for

• Electric motor start circuits and single-phase motor starters
• Sections of power factor correction in industrial equipment
• High-voltage switching and pulse-prone circuits
• Repair and replacement of existing 16µF/450V capacitor modules
• Control panels and industrial automation hardware

Key specifications

• Nominal capacitance: 16 µF
• Rated voltage: 450 V (AC applications)
• Dielectric type: electrolytic/film hybrid characteristics
• Primary application: motor start and pulse-prone AC circuits
• Typical mounting: chassis or panel mounting suitable for control equipment

How to use

Install the capacitor into the motor start or control circuit following the equipment manufacturer's wiring diagrams and safety procedures. Ensure power is disconnected and residual charge is safely discharged before removal or installation. Observe correct polarity and terminal orientation where applicable, and secure the component mechanically to avoid vibration-related stress. Verify the capacitor's voltage rating and capacitance match the circuit requirements prior to energizing the system.

Usage recommendations

Use this capacitor in circuits that require a 16µF capacitance at 450V AC and are subject to switching or pulse currents. Check ambient temperature limits and provide adequate ventilation in enclosures. Replace ageing or visibly damaged capacitors rather than attempting repairs, and follow standard safety practices for handling charged components.
