DAYTON 2MDY9 Motor Run Capacitor, Oval, 440VAC, 15, 3 1/2 Inch Overall Height

Dayton 2MDY9 motor run capacitor improves the efficiency and performance of electric motors. This motor capacitor provides an extra boost of power to start the motor and to help maintain a steady voltage during operation.

Working Mechanism:

• When the motor is running, this motor capacitor maintains a constant voltage. It acts as a stabiliser, ensuring that the motor receives a consistent electrical supply.
• When the voltage is high, the capacitor stores electrical energy and releases it when the voltage drops.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How to install Dayton 2MDY9 motor run capacitor?

A.

• Turn off the power to the motor to prevent electric shock.
• Find the old capacitor in the motor's housing.
• Use an insulated screwdriver to safely discharge any stored electrical charge.
• Remove the old capacitor and install the new Dayton 2MDY9 capacitor in the same spot.
• Attach the wires to the new capacitor, following the same connections as the old one.

Q. How do I know if my motor's capacitor needs replacement with the Dayton 2MDY9?

A. Common signs include:

• Motor struggling to start
• Overheating
• Making unusual noises

Q. Is it safe to replace the capacitor myself?

A. If you have prior electrical experience, you can replace the capacitor yourself. Also, make sure you employ proper safety measures and wear appropriate safety apparel.

Q. What material is used to make the case of this motor capacitor?

A. This motor run capacitor has an aluminium case. However, if you need a plastic variant with a similar microfarad rating, you can check out Dayton 22F180 motor capacitor.
