Carrier P281-1766 Round Start Capacitor 175-216 MFD 330V

The Carrier P281-1766 Round Start Capacitor supplies temporary stored electrical energy to a motor starting circuit. Its 175-216 MFD capacitance and 330V rating correspond to the specified starting application, where the capacitor contributes additional phase-shifted current during motor startup in HVAC systems. When energized, the capacitor stores charge and releases it through the starting winding to increase the initial torque available to the motor. After the motor reaches its required operating speed, the associated starting circuit removes the capacitor from the active electrical path. This starting sequence provides the motor with the electrical stimulation needed to begin rotation.
