        AC Direct | Motor Run Capacitor 10uF 50/60Hz | 450VAC

        The AC Direct CAP10UF is a 10uF motor run capacitor rated 450VAC, built for continuous duty in HVAC and single-phase motor circuits. The CAP10UF carries a +/-5% capacitance tolerance and supports both 50Hz and 60Hz supply frequencies. It meets Safety Class S2 and temperature classification 40/85/21 for sustained operation.

        A failing run capacitor is one of the most common reasons an air conditioner fan or compressor hums but will not start. The CAP10UF replaces a tired or bulged 10uF unit and restores the phase shift a single-phase motor needs to turn. Matching the original part matters here: a 10uF 450VAC capacitor should be swapped like for like against the equipment nameplate.

        For air conditioning and appliance techs, a 10uF run capacitor is a fast-moving service part worth carrying on the van. The CAP10UF is a low-cost swap that gets a dead condenser fan or compressor running again in minutes, turning a no-cool callout into a same-visit fix. Stocking common values like 10uF keeps repeat HVAC jobs off the reorder list.

        Features

        • 10uF capacitance — the CAP10UF delivers a nominal 10 microfarad value with a +/-5% tolerance for single-phase motor run duty.
        • 450VAC voltage rating — rated for continuous operation on 450V AC circuits, covering standard Australian single-phase motor and HVAC supply.
        • 50/60Hz frequency support — works on both 50Hz and 60Hz supply, suiting Australian mains and imported equipment alike.
        • Safety Class S2 — constructed to Safety Class S2, the protected class used for motor run capacitors in continuous service.
        • Temperature class 40/85/21 — rated for operation from 40 to 85 degrees C, matching the heat load inside condenser units.
        • Continuous run duty — stays in circuit the whole time the motor runs, holding the phase shift rather than giving a brief startup boost.
        • HVAC and motor applications — the CAP10UF suits condenser fans, compressors, and general single-phase motors calling for a 10uF value.
        • Like-for-like replacement — a common 10uF 450VAC value that swaps in for a failed capacitor of the same rating.
        • Compact service part — a light unit at 0.099kg that stores easily in a van parts bin or service kit.
        • +/-5% tolerance — a tight capacitance tolerance that keeps motor performance close to the original design point.
        • Not a start capacitor — the CAP10UF is a run capacitor for continuous duty, not an electrolytic start capacitor used for a momentary startup boost.

        Where to use

        • Split system condensers — outdoor condenser fan motors on split system air conditioners that specify a 10uF run capacitor.
        • Ducted air conditioning — fan and motor circuits in ducted systems calling for a 10uF 450VAC value.
        • Exhaust and ventilation fans — single-phase fan motors that need a matched run capacitor to hold running speed.
        • Pump motors — single-phase pool, spa, and transfer pump motors rated for a 10uF run capacitor.
        • Appliance motor repair — the CAP10UF suits general appliance and equipment motors specifying 10uF at 450VAC.
        • Service van stock — the CAP10UF is carried as a common replacement value for field HVAC and motor repairs.

        The CAP10UF is a run capacitor only and is not a substitute for a start capacitor or a dual-run capacitor. Do not fit a value other than 10uF at 450VAC where the equipment specifies that rating, and do not operate it outside its 40 to 85 degree C temperature class. Confirm capacitance and voltage against the motor or equipment nameplate before fitting.

        (CAP10UF)

        The CAP10UF provides the phase shift a single-phase AC motor needs to run smoothly. It stays in circuit continuously while the motor operates, supporting condenser fans, compressors, and similar HVAC and appliance motors rated for a 10uF 450VAC run capacitor.

        The CAP10UF is a run capacitor built for continuous duty, not a start capacitor. A run capacitor stays energised the whole time the motor turns, while a start capacitor gives a brief boost at startup and then drops out. Do not use one in place of the other.

        A motor run capacitor must be fitted by a licensed electrician or qualified technician. Capacitors can hold a dangerous charge after power is removed, so the unit needs safe discharge before handling. Confirm the value against the equipment nameplate before fitting.

        The capacitor is built to Safety Class S2 and temperature classification 40/85/21, meaning continuous operation from 40 to 85 degrees C. It carries a 450VAC rating and a +/-5% capacitance tolerance, suiting the heat and voltage load inside air conditioning condenser units.

        Match the failed capacitor on both capacitance and voltage. A 10uF 450VAC part replaces a 10uF unit of the same or lower voltage rating. Check the printed value on the old capacitor or the motor nameplate, and confirm with the equipment manufacturer if there is any doubt.

        The capacitor carries a one-year warranty for both domestic and commercial use, starting from the invoice date. The warranty is void if the product is not installed by a licensed electrician. Faulty units are handled on a return-to-Sparky-Direct basis.
