This is a genuine Bosta 2 \u00b5F run capacitor with a square body and plug-in (spade) terminal connection, designed as an OEM replacement part for compatible Bosta pool pump motors. Run capacitors remain active during continuous motor operation, energising the auxiliary winding to sustain the rotating magnetic field that keeps a single-phase AC motor running efficiently and reliably.<\/p>\n
In single-phase pool pump motors, the run capacitor plays a critical role: it continuously shifts the phase of current through the auxiliary coil to maintain a smooth rotating magnetic field. A failed or degraded capacitor is a common cause of motors that hum but fail to run, run hot, or draw excessive current \u2014 making this small component essential to pump performance and motor longevity.<\/p>\n
The square-body format keeps the unit compact and easy to house within the motor’s end cap or terminal cover. The plug-in spade terminal design allows for fast, tool-free disconnection and reconnection during servicing, minimising downtime. Always verify that the capacitance value (2 \u00b5F), terminal type, and voltage rating match those specified on your motor’s data plate before fitting.<\/p>\n
Using a genuine Bosta replacement ensures the capacitor meets the exact electrical tolerances your motor was designed around. Off-specification capacitors can cause motor overheating, winding damage, or premature failure. As a genuine OEM part, this capacitor is built to the same standards as the original, protecting your pump investment.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
