U.S. Seal 270/324 MFD 125V Pool Pump Motor Start Capacitor, BC-270

The U.S. Seal BC-270 is a motor start capacitor rated 270 to 324 MFD at 125V.

What it does

A start capacitor is switched into a single-phase motor circuit only briefly, at the moment the motor starts, to provide the extra torque needed to get the motor turning. Once the motor is running, the start capacitor drops out of the circuit. The BC-270 is rated for up to 20 starts per hour.

Specifications

The BC-270 measures 1-7/16 inches in diameter by 2-3/4 inches in height. It carries a voltage rating of 125V, a frequency rating of 50/60 Hz, and a temperature rating of 40 to 65 degrees C.

Before you order

Match the BC-270 to a motor calling for a 270 to 324 MFD start capacitor at this voltage and frequency rating, and confirm the case size fits the capacitor mount on your motor before ordering. The U.S. Seal BC-270 is sold individually as a single replacement capacitor.
