Description

High specification Capacitor with Polypropylene (self-extinguishing) fire protection. Can be used as a 2 or 4 tab connection.

 Generator Guru says: 

The Capacitor is essential to your Generator producing electricity. It is required to excite the Alternator windings and reduce voltage surges. Capacitors should last the lifetime of the generator, but can burn out if any of the following occur: 

  • Generator user has tried to draw more power than the Generator can produce.
  • A surge has happened on equipment and the capacitor has blown to protect the Alternator.
  • The Capacitor is made of Paper cells and the paper has degraded. (Usually pre 1998 generators.)
  • The Alternator has got damp and electricity has surged across the windings. (Dry out before running.) 

 NOTE: Do not use this type of Generator with sensitive equipment (Computers, LCD TV, Caravan Charging systems and anything with a computer chip) unless you have an in-line "Surge Protector." These generators are designed to run power tools and the electricity output is not controlled. This can result in damaging your equipment.

    Saved my old generator!

    Posted by Dick Lauterbach on 30th Sep 2018

    I have a 19 year old generator for which parts are no longer available. A search of many sites came up empty until I found the Guru. They had the capacitor I needed and it arrived well before the predicted date: only about a week to the U.S. It's a perfect fit and now I'm ready again for emergency power. Thanks Generator Guru!

    I had a 10 year old generator with a bad capacitor. The Generator Guru spent a lot of time searching to find a capacitor that would work. I appreciate their efforts as my generator is now producing electricity again.
