MARS 11936 Start Capacitor
The MARS 11936 Start Capacitor is a high-performance, round electrolytic capacitor engineered for demanding intermittent duty in single-phase motor starting applications. Rated at 270-324 Microfarads (MFD) and 165Vac, this component is a reliable solution for heavy-duty HVACR compressors and blower motors requiring high starting torque. The housing is constructed from moisture and oil-resistant phenolic resin, ensuring durability in harsh mechanical environments. Featuring standard 1/4-inch dual blade terminals, this motor start capacitor ensures a secure electrical connection and simplified field replacement. Technicians often utilize this model to resolve hard starting issues where the motor hums but fails to engage. By providing the necessary phase shift during the initial startup cycle, the MARS 11936 minimizes strain on motor windings, optimizing system efficiency. Its 50/60 Hz frequency compatibility and compact dimensions (approximately 1-13/16" diameter x 3-3/8" height) make it a versatile fit for various HVAC repair scenarios.
Key Benefits- Precision Capacitance: The 270-324 MFD range provides the exact thermal and electrical boost required for rapid motor acceleration.
- Industrial-Grade Housing: Built with a rugged phenolic case to resist oil, moisture, and high temperatures up to 65°C.
- Standardized Terminals: Equipped with dual 1/4" quick-connect terminals for direct compatibility with existing wiring harnesses.
- Intermittent Duty Efficiency: Optimized for high-cycle starting applications in residential and commercial condensing units.
Can I use a capacitor with a higher voltage rating?
Yes. In HVACR applications, you can replace a start capacitor with one that has a higher VAC rating, but you must never use a lower voltage rating than the original specification.
How do I know if my start capacitor is bad?
Common indicators include a bulging or "popped" top, leaking electrolyte, or a motor that fails to start despite receiving power. Testing with a multimeter that measures capacitance is the most accurate diagnostic method.
Does this replace a run capacitor?
No. A start capacitor is for intermittent duty only. Operating a start capacitor in a continuous-run circuit will lead to rapid component failure and potential motor damage.
