Overview
The C87 capacitor is a polypropylene metallized lm
capacitor with a cylindrical, aluminium can-type design lled
with resin. It uses faston, plastic deck or cable terminals,
and an overpressure safety device.
Applications
Typical applications include motor run S2 safety class:
single-phase motors, low power electric motors, and
compressors.
