With a capacitance range of 216–259 µF (MFD) and a 330V AC rating at 50\/60 Hz, it delivers the strong starting surge needed to bring pool pumps, well pumps, compressors, and larger workshop motors up to speed quickly — reducing strain on motor windings and helping prevent slow-start or breaker-trip complaints.[4,10](@ref)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHoused in a rugged phenolic resin case, the capacitor shrugs off shock, vibration, and heat in garage, pump house, and rooftop environments. The snap-in terminals accept standard quick-connect spades for a secure, tool-light fit into existing brackets — making it a straightforward drop-in replacement for service technicians and hands-on repairers.[10,18](@ref)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacitance Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216–259 µF (microfarads), sized for mid-large motor starting loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 330V AC, suitable for 110V–230V single-phase motor systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Runs on both 50 Hz and 60 Hz supplies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSnap-In Mounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard quick-connect terminals, no extra hardware required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-Duty Shell:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phenolic resin housing with good heat, shock, and vibration resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntermittent Duty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engaged only for the few-second start window, then disconnected by relay or centrifugal switch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Polarized AC Electrolytic:\u003c\/strong\u003e Either terminal orientation works in the start circuit.[8,10](@ref)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacitance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216–259 µF (±20% typical for CD60 class)[10,18](@ref)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 330V AC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50\/60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phenolic Resin \/ bakelite-style shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Snap-In (quick-connect terminals)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Typically -40°C to +65°C (some builds to +70°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuty Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermittent (start-only, not for continuous run)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTypical Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~46 mm dia. × 85 mm H (confirm against your old unit before ordering)[18](@ref)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDirect replacement for start capacitors in the following equipment:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePool \u0026amp; Water Systems\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePool pump motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eWell pumps and deep-well systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eBooster and irrigation pumps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHVAC \u0026amp; Refrigeration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eAir conditioner compressor motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eHeat pump compressors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eLarge walk-in cooler and freezer compressors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWorkshop \u0026amp; Compressor Equipment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eStationary air compressors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eTable saws, planers, and bench grinders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePressure washers and floor buffers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGeneral Single-Phase Motors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eAny single-phase AC motor using a CD60-type start capacitor in the 216–259 µF range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eEquipment originally fitted with 200–250 µF class start capacitors (verify nameplate first)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Safety\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003emotor starting capacitor only\u003c\/strong\u003e — it must be used with a working relay or centrifugal switch that drops it out of circuit after startup.[8,9](@ref)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eNever run a start capacitor continuously.
