Capacitor XTREME 100 µF 450 VAC motor start/compensation with wires (3378#)

Electrolytic motor capacitor XTREME 100 µF 450 VAC with attached wires is designed for use in single-phase motor start and run/compensation circuits. The component provides the specified capacitance for torque boost at startup or for power factor correction in continuous operation. The wired leads allow direct replacement without additional terminal adapters, making it suitable for service and maintenance of electric motors, HVAC fans, pumps and similar equipment that require a 100 µF, 450 VAC capacitor.

Advantages

This motor capacitor offers a rated capacitance of 100 µF at 450 VAC for reliable start performance and stable compensation. The electrolytic design provides compact size relative to capacitance, and the pre-attached wires simplify installation and reduce the need for extra connections. The capacitor is intended for direct substitution in compatible single-phase circuits, helping restore motor starting characteristics or improve running stability where a 100 µF/450 VAC value is required.

Suitable for

• Replacement of start or run/compensation capacitors in single-phase electric motors
• HVAC blower and fan motors
• Pumps and compressors requiring 100 µF/450 VAC capacitance
• Service and maintenance in industrial and commercial motor applications

Key specifications

• Capacitance: 100 µF
• Rated voltage: 450 VAC
• Type: electrolytic motor start/run (compensation)
• Lead connection: pre-attached wires for direct wiring
• Intended use: single-phase motors and related equipment

How to use

Ensure power is disconnected before servicing the motor or control circuit. Verify the replacement capacitor's capacitance and rated voltage match the equipment requirements. Connect the pre-attached wires to the motor terminals or control circuit according to the original wiring scheme, observing correct polarity if indicated by the motor circuit. Secure the capacitor mechanically in the mounting location to prevent vibration damage and route the leads to avoid chafing or contact with hot surfaces. After installation, restore power and check motor starting and running performance for normal operation.

Usage recommendations

Use this capacitor only in circuits specified for a 100 µF, 450 VAC motor start or run/compensation component. Replace like-for-like values to maintain motor performance and safety. If uncertain about compatibility or polarity, consult motor documentation or a qualified technician. Observe standard safety practices for capacitors, including discharge before handling and secure mounting to limit mechanical stress.
