MARS 11076 Start Capacitor
For veteran HVACR technicians, the MARS 11076 Start Capacitor is a standard-setting component for restoring high-torque performance to single-phase fractional horsepower motors. This 88-108 Microfarad 165Vac Round Start Capacitor is engineered with a rugged, non-polarized electrolytic design housed in a hermetically sealed black Bakelite case. This construction ensures the dielectric remains protected from oil, grease, and moisture, maintaining high capacitance stability even in demanding environments. Rated for 50/60 Hz operation, this motor start capacitor provides the critical phase shift necessary to overcome inertia during the initial quarter-second of a motor's duty cycle. Its compact 1-3/8 inch diameter and 2-3/4 inch height make it an ideal general-purpose replacement for blowers and compressors. By utilizing 1/4 inch quick-disconnect terminals, contractors can ensure a secure, low-resistance connection that prevents excessive current draw and protects start windings from premature failure during intermittent duty cycles.
Key Benefits- High Starting Torque: Effectively bridges the phase shift to provide the high-energy boost required for heavy inductive loads.
- Durable Phenolic Housing: The rugged plastic case is moisture and oil resistant, eliminating the need for additional insulation.
- Broad Compatibility: This 11076 start capacitor naturally replaces 88-108 MFD 165V ratings across multiple brands including Packard, BMI, and Aerovox.
- Standardized Fitment: Features a 1.44-inch diameter for easy installation in most existing motor capacitor brackets.
- Safety Certified: Meets UL and cUL standards for reliable field performance in residential and commercial AC systems.
Can I use a higher voltage capacitor if a 165V unit is unavailable?
Yes, technicians can safely substitute a higher voltage rating (such as 250V or 330V) provided the 88-108 MFD microfarad range is maintained. Never use a lower voltage rating as it will lead to immediate dielectric breakdown.
What are the signs that my current start capacitor has failed?
Physical indicators include a bulging top, leaking electrolyte, or a cracked housing. Operational symptoms often involve the motor humming without spinning or tripping the circuit breaker due to locked rotor amperage.
How do I ensure this part fits my specific motor application?
Verify that your motor requires an 88-108 uF rating and that the 165V rating is equal to or greater than your system voltage. This round start capacitor is best suited for intermittent duty and should be paired with a potential relay or centrifugal switch.
