The VLC Starting Motor Capacitor (53–64μf, 250V AC) is an electrolytic capacitor designed to provide the initial torque needed to start single-phase AC motors. Its outer casing is made of laminated bakelite, which offers good insulation resistance and mechanical durability in workshop and industrial environments.

Rated for intermittent AC applications, this capacitor is not intended for continuous-run duty. The −10% / +20% capacity tolerance and 50/60Hz frequency rating make it compatible with standard European and international mains supplies.
