The VLC MKA Motor Run Capacitor (3.50μf, 450 Vac) is a film-type capacitor intended for continuous-duty operation in standard single-phase AC motor circuits. Unlike electrolytic starting capacitors, MKA 450 capacitors remain in circuit during normal running, maintaining the phase shift needed for smooth motor operation.

Built to safety class S0 and certified to EN60252 and CE, this capacitor operates across a wide climate class of −25°C to +85°C. Note: the capacitance value shown in the product photo may differ from the 3.50μf value of this specific item.

Key Features
