Tecumseh K146-37 Start Capacitor Kit
The Tecumseh K146-37 Start Capacitor Kit is a field-ready solution engineered for CSIR (Capacitor Start Induction Run) compressors that demand high starting torque. This kit features a high-capacitance 130-156 MFD electrolytically rated capacitor with a 330VAC operating limit, ensuring reliable ignition across high-pressure differentials. Designed for seamless integration, it replaces original equipment components to restore peak motor performance and protect terminal integrity during rapid cycling. By providing the necessary phase shift to the start winding, the K146-37 ensures your refrigeration equipment hits operating speeds quickly, reducing heat buildup and preventing nuisance trips on the overload. Whether you are servicing a reach-in cooler or a light commercial unit, this genuine Tecumseh part provides the specific electrical tolerances required to meet manufacturer specs. The kit includes the necessary hardware for a secure HVAC start capacitor replacement, maintaining low cold resistance for immediate torque delivery in systems where pressure hasn't fully equalized.
Key Benefits:- Optimized Starting Torque: Provides the 130-156 Microfarad boost required for heavy-duty compressor restarts.
- Industrial-Grade Rating: Built to handle 330V applications, ensuring resilience against voltage spikes and harsh cycling.
- Universal OEM Fit: Specifically tailored for Tecumseh hermetic compressors, simplifying inventory for service trucks.
- System Protection: Reduces the duration of locked rotor amps (LRA), extending the service life of the motor windings.
- Can I use this on any compressor brand? While designed for Tecumseh units, it can be used on any motor requiring a 130-156 MFD / 330VAC start capacitor kit, provided the mounting and relay configuration align.
- When should I replace the start capacitor? Replace if you notice the compressor humming without starting, or if the capacitor shows physical signs of bulging or leaking.
- Is the mounting bracket included? Yes, this kit generally includes the standard hardware and protective cover typical of Tecumseh start kits for a complete field install.
