Dodge(Baldor) EC1270A02SP Capacitor

The Dodge(Baldor) EC1270A02SP Capacitor is an essential electrolytic motor start capacitor engineered for industrial-grade performance. As a precise direct replacement for EC1270A02, this unit ensures seamless integration for technicians maintaining Baldor-Reliance systems. Rated for 270-324 MFD at 125VAC (compatible with 115V applications), it provides the high torque necessary to initiate heavy loads in single-phase motor configurations. Its robust cylindrical construction, measuring approximately 1.48 inches in diameter by 3 inches in length, facilitates a standard fit within existing motor capacitor covers. Designed to operate efficiently at 50/60Hz and temperatures up to +65°C, this Baldor electrical part eliminates common failure points in HVACR and manufacturing equipment. Rely on this heavy-duty motor capacitor to optimize motor starting characteristics and restore factory-standard reliability to your industrial fleet.

• Broad Compatibility: Functions as the verified EC1270A02SP direct replacement for older EC1270A02 models.
• Optimized Start Torque: Delivers a consistent 270-324 MFD capacitance range to ensure rapid motor acceleration.
• Compact Industrial Profile: Standard round can design fits most Baldor and Dodge motor housing constraints.
• Reliable Voltage Tolerance: Rated for 125VAC to provide a safety margin on standard 115V industrial circuits.

Is the EC1270A02SP a start or run capacitor?
This is a dedicated motor start capacitor. It is designed to be switched out of the circuit once the motor reaches approximately 75% of its rated speed; it is not intended for continuous run duty.

What happens if I use a capacitor with a different MFD rating?
Staying within the 270-324 MFD range is critical. Using a lower MFD can prevent the motor from starting under load, while a significantly higher rating can lead to excessive winding heat and potential motor damage.

Can this 125VAC unit replace a 110V or 115V capacitor?
Yes, you can always go up in voltage rating (e.g., using a 125VAC unit on a 115V circuit), but you must never install a capacitor with a voltage rating lower than the system’s peak operational voltage.
