The VLC Starting Motor Capacitor (300–350μf, 250V AC) is an electrolytic capacitor built to deliver the elevated starting torque required by larger single-phase AC motors. Its laminated bakelite outer casing provides strong insulation resistance and withstands the mechanical conditions of motor terminal enclosures.

Designed for intermittent AC duty rather than continuous operation, this capacitor features a −10% / +20% capacity tolerance and dual-frequency rating of 50/60Hz, making it suitable for motors on standard European and international mains supplies.

Key Features

• Capacity range: 300–350μf for high starting torque in large single-phase AC motors
