VLC Motor Start Capacitor 350-400 μF 250 V – Bakelite Housing & 50/60 Hz Intermittent

The VLC Starting Motor Capacitor (350–400μf, 250V AC) is an electrolytic capacitor designed to generate the peak starting torque required by large single-phase AC motors. The laminated bakelite casing gives strong insulation resistance and withstands the mechanical environment of motor terminal boxes and control enclosures.

Rated for intermittent AC duty, this capacitor operates within a climate class of −45°C to +65°C and carries a −10% / +20% capacity tolerance. Its 50/60Hz frequency rating makes it compatible with both European and international mains supplies.
