CBB60 6UF 450V Capacitor with Wire

Enhanced Motor Drive: CBB60 6uF 450VAC Running Capacitor

Optimize your appliance performance with the CBB60 6uF 450V Motor Run Capacitor. This industrial-grade polypropylene film capacitor is engineered to provide the essential phase shift required for starting and maintaining the torque of single-phase AC motors. Ideal for washing machines, spin dryers, and small water pumps, it ensures a smooth, energy-efficient operation for your household equipment.

Key Performance Features:

• Precision Capacitance: Rated at 6uF ±5%, providing accurate electrical storage to ensure your motor starts quickly and runs at peak efficiency.

• Self-Healing (SH) Technology: Utilizes metallized film that automatically isolates dielectric breakdowns, significantly extending the component’s lifespan compared to standard capacitors.

• High Voltage Resilience: Designed for 450VAC operation, offering a robust safety margin against common household power fluctuations and surges.

• Moisture-Resistant Housing: Encased in a flame-retardant, cylindrical plastic shell that protects internal components from the humid and vibrating environments found in washing machines.

• Flexible Lead Wires: Features pre-installed insulated wires for a "plug-and-play" installation, allowing for secure connection to motor terminals without needing specialized tools.

Typical Applications

• Washing Machines: Primary capacitor for wash motors and drain pumps.

• Spin Dryers: Reliable start-up support for high-speed centrifugal baskets.

• Small AC Motors: Compatible with ceiling fans, air coolers, and household water boosters.

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns ‍

1. Can I use this 6uF capacitor if my old one was 5uF?

   • It is generally recommended to stick within ±10% of the original value. A 6uF capacitor is a suitable replacement for a 5.5uF or 6uF unit. Replacing a 5uF with a 6uF may increase motor torque but could cause slightly higher heat over long periods.

2. Does the wiring have a specific polarity?

   • No. CBB60 capacitors are non-polarized AC capacitors. You can connect the wires to the motor leads in either direction without risk of short-circuiting.

3. How often should these be replaced?

   • While self-healing technology makes them durable, capacitors typically last 5–10 years. If your machine is humming but the drum won't turn, it is time for a replacement.
