- Capacitance Value:
- 2.5 μF (microfarads)
This value defines the capacity of the capacitor to store and release energy.
- 2.5 μF (microfarads)
- Voltage Rating:
- Typically rated for 250V AC or 440V AC, depending on the model, ensuring it can handle standard household electrical loads.
- Purpose:
- Helps in starting the fan motor and maintaining its speed.
- Enhances power factor, reducing energy loss.
- Material & Build:
- Encased in a durable plastic or metal body.
- Polypropylene film capacitors are commonly used for better thermal stability and longevity.
- Often comes with wire leads for easy installation.
- Applications:
- Ceiling fans
- Exhaust fans
- Small motor-driven appliances
- Dimensions:
- Compact size, typically around 25-30mm in length and 10-15mm in width, depending on the model.
- Safety Features:
- Built-in overvoltage protection.
- Heat-resistant and anti-explosive design to prevent damage.
Installation Notes:
- Ensure the power supply is turned off before replacing or installing the capacitor.
- Identify the old capacitor and match its specifications (especially capacitance and voltage) with the new one.
- Connect the wires properly to avoid short circuits or malfunction.
Lifespan:
A high-quality capacitor, like Havells, has a lifespan of 3-5 years, but it may vary based on environmental conditions and usage.
