Box Cap Wire Type 2UF

Description

This premium 2µF CBB61 Wired Box-Type Motor Run Capacitor is designed to provide the essential phase-shift and starting torque needed for smaller fractional horsepower alternating current (AC) electric motors. Enclosed in a compact, flame-retardant rectangular plastic shell with a convenient mounting hole, it features pre-stripped, flexible wire leads for effortless installation in cramped motor housings or electrical boxes. Engineered with advanced metallized polypropylene film, it operates flawlessly across a wide voltage range of 400V to 450V AC (50/60Hz). This self-healing technology isolates minor internal electrical faults to prevent sudden component failure, ensuring your appliances run smoothly, quietly, and at peak energy efficiency. Key Features Precise Capacitance: 2µF (Microfarads) for stable motor speed control. Dual Voltage Tolerance: Optimized for 400VAC and 450VAC configurations. Compact Box Shape: Space-saving CBB61 geometry with a molded mounting ear for secure screw-down installation. Pre-Wired Design: Flexible, insulated wire leads make splicing into existing circuitry quick and easy. Durable & Safe: Flame-retardant casing protects against moisture, thermal stress, and high vibrations. Compatible Machines & Applications A 2µF box capacitor is the absolute standard for low-power, single-phase induction motors. It is most commonly found in household air-moving appliances and light industrial gear, including: 1. Cooling Fans (Most Common) Ceiling Fans: The go-to replacement for fixing a ceiling fan that hums, runs too slowly, or won’t start on its own. Pedestal & Stand Fans: Used to regulate the multi-speed settings on heavy-duty oscillating room fans. Exhaust & Ventilation Fans: Found in bathroom exhaust setups, wall-mounted extractor fans, and kitchen range hoods. 2. HVAC & Air Handling Units AC Indoor Blower Motors: Used in the indoor evaporator units of split air conditioners to spin the squirrel-cage fan. Air Purifiers & Dehumidifiers: Powers the internal circulation fans that draw air through filtration systems. 3. Small Motorized Appliances Turntables & Display Stands: Motorized rotating displays or small industrial conveyor rollers. Small Pumps: Tiny water feature fountains or low-volume aquarium pumps. ⚠️ Installation Safety Tip: Even a small 2µF capacitor can hold an unpleasant residual electrical charge. Always turn off the main power breaker before working on your appliance, and discharge the old capacitor by safely bridging its two wires with an insulated tool before touching them.
