Motor Starting and other intermittent AC applications
Proudly 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. Mallory Motor Start Capacitors are
designed in accordance with EIA-463-B. The metal case units are covered with a plastic sleeve (PVC) to provide electrical insulation.

HB brackets are used with PL or PLA end caps. The bracket is assembled to the motor or any suitable surface by two screws in line at any convenient position within
the center-to-center dimension (C) shown in the chart. The PL end cap is placed in position and the entire assemby snapped into place with the connecting wires
brought through the bracket hole. Use PLA style caps if the wire is to be direced away from the bracket. (Example: PLA3).
End caps and brackets are shipped loose and should be ordered separately.
Contact the factory for information about wire leads and sub-assemblies.

The number of starts shown are reduced starts for accelerated
testing so that test time does not exceed 35 days. Type 2 capaci-
tors should be capable of 50,000 starts for ratings to 125 volts
and 40,000 starts for higher voltages. See section 3.0 for testing
procedures.
The number of starts shown are reduced starts for accelerated
testing so that test time does not exceed 35 days. Type 1 capaci-
tors should be capable of 75,000 starts for ratings to 125 volts
and 40,000 starts for higher voltages. See section 3.0 for testing
procedures.
If an application exceeds the duty cycles in Figure B, other meth-
ods of capacitor selection must be used, Contact Mallory for
assistance.
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
motor starting cycle. This is not necessarily the same as the mo-
tor line voltage. In addition, the cutoff voltage rating of the ca-
pacitor 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:
Rated
Maximum
Voltage (rms) Cut-Off Voltage (rms)
110
140
125
160
165
210
220
280
250
300
330
400
These ratings are based on the maximum capacitor temperature
of 65gC.
1.2 CAPACITANCE RATING
The capacitance is chosen to give the necessary starting torque
to the motor. The minimum capacitance value is the minimum
designed capacitance. The maximum capacitance is 20% more
than that value.
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. Mallory Type MSA
capacitors 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-463-B for Type 2 capacitors.
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.
