STARTING CAPACITOR 88 108 礔

What this capacitor is

From the label and shape:

• Brand: Mascot

• Type: Motor Starting Capacitor

• Capacitance: ≈ 88–108 µF (the common range for this model)

• Voltage: 250 VAC

• Body: Black plastic case

• Duty: Intermittent / short-time only

This is NOT a run capacitor.

How we know it’s a START capacitor

Key indicators:

• Printed “Motor Starting Capacitor”

• High µF value (much higher than normal run caps)

• 250VAC rating (run caps are usually 370/440/450VAC)

• Plastic cylindrical body (typical start-cap design)

Typical use

• Used to give extra starting torque to:

  • Air-conditioner compressors

  • Refrigeration compressors

  • Single-phase motors

• Connected through:

  • PTC relay

  • Potential relay

  • Start relay

• Automatically disconnects after startup
