ERITEK
motor run and motor start capacitor series are specifically designed for use with AC motors
and other electrical apparatuses. Employing the latest technology, these capacitors are constructed using
metallized polypropylene or metallized polyester film, both of which exhibit excellent electrical
characteristics. These capacitors offer the advantages of being compact and lightweight, while exhibiting
low loss (dissipation factor), high insulation resistance, and a high safety standard. Applications include
starting and power factor correction functions in such devices as air conditioners, refrigeration units,
washing machines, ventilation fans, electric fans, motors, fluorescent lamps, and mercury bulbs, among
others.
