The VLC motor-start capacitor is designed to deliver the burst of torque needed to bring single-phase AC motors up to running speed. It is also used in other intermittent AC applications where a capacitive boost is required at start-up.

The outer housing is moulded from laminated bakelite, which provides solid insulation resistance and mechanical protection in panel or motor-mount installations.

Key Features
