Motor Starting and other
Intermittent AC applications
Made In U.S.A.
The MS motor start aluminum electrolytic
capacitor is used to provide the torque
necessary to start AC motors and can be
used in other intermittent AC applications.
The capacitor comes in all popular styles
with a variety of terminal configuration
choices. NACC Motor Start Capacitors are
designed in accordance with EIA RS-463.

When assembling directly to the motor frame, the wires are brought
through the bracket hole and connected to the capacitor termi-
nals. Type PL end cap is then placed in position and the entire
assembly snapped into place. Off-motor mounting is similarly
accomplished except that Type PLA caps should be used to pro-
vide for leads emerging from the opposite side of the cap without
going through the bracket hole.
End caps and brackets are shipped
loose and should be separately
ordered when required. Add 'A'
to the PL part numbers if PLA cap
is desired (Example: PLA3).

Application Guide
1.1 VOLTAGE RATING
The rated voltage of the capacitor must be greater than or equal to
the average voltage across the capacitor terminals during the mo-
tor starting cycle. This is not necessarily the same as the motor
line voltage. In addition, the cutoff voltage rating of the capaci-
tor must be greater than or equal to the maximum voltage attained
across the terminals of the capacitor in actual service.
The maximum recommended cut-off voltages for the seven stan-
dard voltage ratings are as follows:

1.2 CAPACITANCE RATING
The capacitance is chosen to give the necessary starting torque to
the motor. The minimum capacitance value is the minimum de-
signed capacitance. The maximum capacitance is 20% more than
that value.
250
330
1.3 DUTY CYCLE
The duty cycle should be calculated for each application. It is the
ratio of the time the capacitor is on voltage to the total time of one
cycle. The duty cycles for the normal performance of Type 2
(MSA) capacitors are listed in Figure A. NACC Type MSA ca-
pacitors may be used in any intermittant application within their
temperature and voltage range where the duty cycle does not ex-
ceed that listed in the table in Figure A. This is in accordance
with the standards in EIA Specification RS-463 for Type 2 ca-
pacitors.
If a particular application exceeds the normal duty cycle, but does
not exceed the values listed in Figure B, an extra performance or
Type 1 (MSB) capacitor is required.

Typical life expectancy is 50,000 cycles for 110, 115 and 125V
ratings, and 40,000 total cycles for 165, 220, 250 and 330V
ratings. The number of cycles shown in the table above are
for the convenient test time of 35 days total for all ratings. See
section 3.0 for testing procedures.

These capacitors are engineered for 60 Hz application but may
be operated between 47 Hz and 60 Hz without damage provided
voltage limitations stated above are observed. For other varia-
tions in frequency, contact North American Capacitor Company,
