The VLC motor-start capacitor supplies the capacitive boost that single-phase AC motors need to accelerate from standstill to running speed. It is equally suited to other intermittent AC applications that require a short-duration capacitive impulse.

The outer casing is formed from laminated bakelite, offering reliable insulation resistance and mechanical integrity in motor enclosures or distribution panels.
