A start capacitor helps support motor startup by supplying additional electrical energy during the initial turning phase, and this Essex capacitor is designed with a 161 to 193 MFD range for 115 volt applications in an approximate 1-7/16 inch by 2-3/4 inch format. When the capacitor becomes weak or fails, startup support can drop below the level the motor should have.

The 161 to 193 MFD specification, 115 volt compatibility, and compact size give this part practical value because startup components work best when the replacement matches the original electrical and physical requirements. A properly selected start capacitor helps restore intended startup performance and contributes to cleaner electrical servicing.

This type of part is especially useful when the motor remains serviceable and the startup issue is isolated to the capacitor itself. That keeps the repair direct and more economical.

Installed in the proper setup, this start capacitor helps restore dependable motor-start assistance and contributes to better overall equipment operation.

  • Start capacitor with 161 to 193 MFD range for 115 volt applications
  • Approximate size of 1-7/16 inches by 2-3/4 inches
  • Helps restore intended startup support
  • Useful when original capacitors are weak or nonfunctional
  • Improves repair confidence and equipment reliability
