Single-phase AC motors cannot self-start — they require a capacitor to create a phase shift between the main winding and the start winding, generating the rotating magnetic field needed to produce starting torque. The CBB60 uses a metallized polypropylene film dielectric in a flame-retardant PBT plastic shell sealed with epoxy resin, providing reliable operation across the full 3µF–80µF capacitance range at 450VAC. Available in 22 capacitance values with physical dimensions matched to the capacitance (larger capacitance = larger body).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCBB60\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDielectric\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetallized polypropylene film\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRated Voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e450VAC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50Hz \/ 60Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacitance Range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3µF – 80µF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShell Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlame-retardant PBT plastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSealing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlame-retardant epoxy resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlastic-insulated pure copper lead wire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStructure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixed capacitor (cylindrical)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMainland China\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePhysical Dimensions by Capacitance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCapacitance Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBody Dimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3µF – 10µF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34 × 65mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12µF – 18µF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38 × 70mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20µF – 25µF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38 × 70mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30µF – 80µF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 × 100mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Motor Start Capacitors Work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-phase AC induction motors have two windings: the main (run) winding and the auxiliary (start) winding. Without a capacitor, both windings receive the same phase of AC power and the motor cannot develop starting torque. The CBB60 capacitor creates a 90° phase shift between the two windings, producing a rotating magnetic field that generates starting torque. Once the motor reaches approximately 75% of running speed, a centrifugal switch disconnects the start winding (in start capacitor configurations) or the capacitor remains in circuit for improved running efficiency (in run capacitor configurations).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDiagnosing a Failed Motor Capacitor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA failed CBB60 capacitor causes characteristic symptoms:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor hums but does not start\u003c\/strong\u003e — the most common symptom.
