MARS 11914 Start Capacitor
When you are out in the field and a furnace or pool pump motor is humming but failing to turn over, the MARS 11914 Start Capacitor is a reliable solution for restoring high starting torque. This 161-193 Microfarad component is engineered to provide the necessary phase shift during the motor's initial startup cycle. Rated for 110/125Vac, this round electrolytic capacitor is housed in a rugged, non-conductive black bakelite case that protects the internal windings from common mechanical room hazards like oil, dirt, grease, and moisture. Physical dimensions are standardized for high compatibility, measuring approximately 1-7/16 inches in diameter and 2-3/4 inches in height. For veterans working with single-phase motors or Hayward Super Pump applications, the Jard 11914 serves as a direct professional-grade replacement that meets EIA Type 2 specifications. The dual 1/4 inch quick-disconnect terminals allow for efficient field wiring, ensuring your HVAC motor capacitor replacement is completed with minimal downtime and maximum reliability.
Key Benefits- Durable Construction: The hermetically sealed bakelite housing ensures long-term resistance to high-humidity environments and particulate matter.
- Optimized Torque: Delivers a precise 161-193 MFD range to overcome heavy-load inertia in small compressors and fan motors.
- Broad Compatibility: A direct cross-reference for numerous OEM part numbers in domestic refrigeration and pool motor applications.
- Standardized Terminals: Features dual 1/4 inch male tabs for universal lead-wire connection.
What happens if the capacitance range is too high or too low for my motor?
Using a capacitor outside the 161-193 MFD specification can lead to insufficient starting torque or excessive winding heat. Always match the MFD rating of the original equipment for optimal performance.
Can I use a 125V capacitor on a 110V circuit?
Yes. The 125Vac rating indicates the maximum peak voltage the start capacitor can handle. It is perfectly safe to use a higher voltage rating than required, provided the microfarad range is correct.
Is this a run capacitor or a start capacitor?
The 11914 is a dedicated start capacitor designed only to be in the circuit for a few seconds during motor ignition. It is not designed for continuous operation.
