Tecumseh K146-21 Capacitor 145-175 MFD 110V

The Tecumseh K146-21 Capacitor 145-175 MFD 110V is a start component used in systems to assist compressor motors during startup by providing a temporary surge of electrical energy. It is installed within condenser units and refrigeration equipment where higher starting torque is required for motor connection. In operation, it is connected in the starting circuit of compressors to stabilize initial power demand and support accurate motor acceleration. This component is commonly used in residential and light commercial air conditioning in HVAC systems assemblies. It plays an essential role in ensuring proper compressor start-up performance within systems and maintaining consistent system operation under load conditions.
