Motor run capacitor XTREME 60 µF 450 VAC (model 3352#)

The XTREME motor run capacitor 60 µF 450 VAC is an AC-rated run capacitor intended for use in single-phase electric motors, compressors and HVAC equipment. It delivers 60 microfarads of capacitance at 450 volts AC to provide the phase shift necessary for efficient motor starting and continuous operation. The capacitor is designed as a direct replacement for run capacitors with matching electrical characteristics and is intended for fixed installation in motor circuits where a reliable, stable capacitance is required.

Advantages

This motor run capacitor offers stable capacitance under alternating current load and is built to support continuous operation in motor circuits. Its nominal capacitance and rated voltage support common single-phase motors and compressor applications, contributing to smoother motor rotation and improved running efficiency. The construction is suitable for in-circuit use as a run capacitor, providing consistent electrical characteristics over typical operating conditions.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Replacement of defective run capacitors in single-phase electric motors
• Use in HVAC systems and air conditioning compressors
• Application in small industrial and commercial motor-driven equipment
• Maintenance and repair tasks where a 60 µF, 450 VAC run capacitor is specified

Key specifications

• Capacitance: 60 µF (microfarads)
• Rated voltage: 450 VAC
• Type: Motor run capacitor for AC single-phase applications
• Intended use: Continuous in-circuit operation for motor phase shift and power factor support
• Environmental suitability: Designed for typical indoor electrical motor and HVAC installations

How to use

Before installation, disconnect power to the motor and ensure capacitors are discharged according to safe procedures. Verify the replacement capacitor's capacitance and voltage rating match the specifications of the application. Mount the capacitor securely in the motor compartment or electrical box, observing correct polarity where applicable (most AC run capacitors are non-polarized) and following the motor manufacturer's wiring diagram for terminal connections. After installation, restore power and confirm proper motor operation and absence of unusual noise or heating.

Usage recommendations

Use this capacitor only in applications that specify a 60 µF, 450 VAC motor run capacitor. Schedule periodic inspections for signs of swelling, leakage or abnormal temperature. Replace the capacitor if electrical measurements diverge significantly from the nominal capacitance or if physical deterioration is observed. Always follow local electrical codes and safety practices when performing maintenance or replacement.
