Secop Diversitech 117U5015 Start Capacitor

The Secop Diversitech 117U5015 Start Capacitor is a purpose-built 80 MFD 220V starting component, engineered to provide high independent torque for single-phase FR and NL model compressors. As a critical replacement part for fractional horsepower hermetic units, this round start capacitor ensures reliable motor ignition by helping the system overcome initial inertia, especially in high-starting torque (HST) applications. Field-tested for compatibility with legacy Danfoss and current Secop platforms, it serves as an OEM-quality HVACR replacement that stabilizes starting cycles and protects the compressor’s start windings from excessive heat during the cut-in phase. This capacitor is built to withstand the rigorous demands of commercial refrigeration and residential cooling, ensuring efficient compressor startup power in environments where rapid cycling or low-voltage conditions occur.

Key Benefits:

• Specifically calibrated for Secop FR and NL compressors including NL6F, NL11F, and FR8.5G series.
• Reliable 80 microfarad capacitance supports efficient motor turnover and consistent cycle performance.
• Heavy-duty 220V AC rating designed to meet precise 50/60 Hz technical specifications.
• Compact round form factor with 1/4 inch spade connectors for streamlined installation on the compressor’s starter device.
• Mitigates mechanical stress on internal components, extending overall system uptime in demanding HVACR applications.

Common Questions:

How do I verify if this capacitor is compatible with my specific compressor?
Confirm that your compressor model falls within the Secop FR or NL series and check the existing capacitor for an 80 MFD rating. This unit is the standard OEM replacement for part number 117U5015.

Can I use this in place of a lower microfarad capacitor?
It is critical to match the capacitance (MFD) exactly to the manufacturer’s specification. Using an 80 MFD capacitor where a lower value is required can result in motor overheating or damage to the start windings.

What are the signs that my 117U5015 start capacitor needs replacement?
Common indicators include the compressor humming but failing to start, frequent tripping of the circuit breaker during startup, or visible physical bulging of the capacitor casing.
