Danfoss 117U5042 Start Capacitor
When you are troubleshooting a compressor that hums but fails to turn over, the Danfoss 117U5042 Start Capacitor is the specific component required to provide the high starting torque necessary for HST (High Starting Torque) applications. Engineered specifically for SC model compressors, this 410 microfarad (µF) capacitor provides a critical boost during the startup phase, ensuring the motor breaks static friction even under high back-pressure conditions. Operating at 125V (115VAC nominal) and designed for 60Hz cycles, this round start capacitor features a compact cylindrical design—typically measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 4 inches in height—allowing for a clean fit within existing housing. This unit includes 1/4 inch spade terminals and a mounting bracket, simplifying the replacement process for industrial and commercial refrigeration systems. As a genuine Secop/Danfoss part, it ensures electrical compatibility and thermal stability with a 105°C cable temperature rating, preventing premature failure in demanding environments.
- Optimized Starting Torque: High 410 MFD capacitance delivers the necessary amperage to initiate SC compressor rotation under load.
- Rugged Electrical Design: Rating of 125 Volts provides a safe operating ceiling for standard 115V refrigeration circuits and HVAC systems.
- Secure Mechanical Interface: Included mounting bracket and standard spade connections ensure a vibration-resistant installation for motor startup.
- OEM Compatibility: Precision-engineered for Danfoss and Secop series compressors, maintaining original system specifications for refrigeration units.
Common Questions:
How do I know if my 117U5042 capacitor has failed?
Technicians should look for physical signs such as bulging or leaking fluid. Electrically, if your refrigeration compressor is humming and drawing high LRA (Locked Rotor Amps) without starting, use a multimeter to verify if the capacitance has drifted outside its ±10% tolerance.
Can I use this on any compressor?
No, this is specifically sized for SC model compressors requiring a 410 microfarad boost. Always check the voltage rating and the MFD requirements on the existing compressor start capacitor before installation.
Is the mounting bracket included?
Yes, this assembly comes with the integrated mounting bracket for a standard round start capacitor orientation, providing secure placement within the electrical box.
