MOTOR START AC ELECTROLYTIC
MSC SERIES
The MSC Series is a range of AC electrolytic capacitors.
These capacitors are most often used to provide the
torque necessary to start AC motors and in other inter-
mittent AC applications.
FEATURES:
•
Two .25” Quick Connect terminals
•
Round moisture and oil resistant plastic case
•
110VAC to 330VAC
•
Quick disconnect terminals
•
Recessed terminals
•
Long life and high reliability

Z
MOUNTING
Vertical mounting of the capacitor with the terminals
up is recommended. However, horizontal mounting is
acceptable providing the vent is located in the up posi-
tion. Vertical mounting with the terminals down is not
recommended because the capacitor life may be re-
duced and the operation of the pressure relief vent im-
paired.
SAFETY
Because the watt–second value of these capacitors is
high, precautions should be taken during the testing
of these devices.
Discharge resistors should be specified when there is
a possibility of a residual charge left on the capacitor
or to protect contacts. Mis–application, such as ex-
ceeding design limits or applying continuous AC volt-
age, may result in destruction or explosion of capaci-
tors.
CLEANING
Solvent residues on the capacitors after cleaning may
penetrate the seal and cause internal corrosion result-
ing in shortened life. Alcohol or water detergent clean-
ing is not usually harmful but halogenated cleaning
solvents are not recommended and should be
avoided.
