Danfoss 117U5015 Start Capacitor

Danfoss 117U5015 Start Capacitor

The Danfoss 117U5015 Start Capacitor is a mission-critical component engineered specifically for high starting torque (HST) applications. This 80 Microfarad 220V Round Start Capacitor serves as the direct OEM replacement for Danfoss FR and NL model compressors, providing the necessary phase shift to initiate motor rotation under high differential pressures. Built to handle the rigorous duty cycles of commercial refrigeration, this electrolytic start capacitor features a robust round housing and standard 1/4-inch (6.3mm) quick-connect terminals for a secure, low-resistance interface. Designed to operate at 220V AC, it effectively manages the initial amperage surge, preventing motor stall and reducing heat stress on the compressor windings. For technicians servicing light commercial systems, utilizing the genuine Secop 117U5015 ensures full compatibility with factory internal protection and relay settings, maintaining the original efficiency and performance parameters of the refrigeration circuit.

Key Benefits for the Contractor:
  • Optimized Compatibility: Verified for Danfoss series FR and NL compressors, ensuring a drop-in fit without lead-in or mounting modifications.
  • High Starting Torque: The 80 µF capacitance provides the electrical "kick" needed for HST systems, reducing startup time and contractor wear.
  • Industry-Standard Connections: Equipped with dual 1/4-inch spade terminals to facilitate rapid field replacement.
  • Broad Application: Suitable for a wide range of 220V 50/60Hz refrigeration and cooling systems utilizing Secop-designed platforms.
Common Questions:

Is the 117U5015 compatible with 117U5014 or 117U5017 variants?
Yes, in many refrigeration applications, these 80 µF units are used interchangeably depending on the compressor's spec sheet and manufacturing year. Always check the microfarad and voltage rating on the existing capacitor before swapping.

Can I use an 80uF capacitor if the failed unit was 60uF?
We do not recommend up-sizing. Using a higher microfarad rating than the motor is designed for can lead to excessive winding heat and potential failure of the start relay.

What are the signs that this start capacitor needs replacement?
Typically, you will see the compressor "humming" but failing to turn over, or you may notice physical bulging or leaking from the top of the capacitor casing.

Disclaimer: While we strive for 100% accuracy, product data and specifications are subject to change. Please contact our team to confirm compatibility or technical details before purchasing.
