Flotide/MEGA - Motor Run Capacitor 30 µF (SB20 / SR20 / SC200) - 7010428

Flotide/MEGA – Motor Run Capacitor 30 µF (SB20 / SR20 / SC200)

This is the genuine Flotide/MEGA replacement run capacitor rated at 30 µF, designed for the Flotide/MEGA SB20, SR20, and SC200 series centrifugal pool pump motors. The capacitor is a critical electrical component housed within the motor: it stores and releases electrical energy to help the single-phase motor’s windings generate the rotating magnetic field needed for reliable start-up and efficient continuous operation.

Function & Importance

A pool pump run capacitor remains active in the motor circuit throughout operation, helping to maintain running efficiency. Without a correctly rated, functioning capacitor, the pump motor may hum without starting, run with reduced power, or fail altogether — leading to potential motor damage if ignored. Replacing a worn or failed capacitor with the correct 30 µF genuine part restores full motor performance quickly and cost-effectively.

Compatibilidade

This capacitor is the correct OEM replacement for Flotide/MEGA SB20, SR20, and SC200 pump motors running on 220 V / 50–60 Hz. Always verify your pump model and motor voltage rating before ordering. It is not interchangeable with capacitors from other pump size variants (e.g. SB10, SB15, SB30) which carry different µF ratings.

Instalação

Capacitor replacement involves working inside the motor’s electrical enclosure and must only be carried out by a qualified electrician or certified pool technician. Always isolate the pump from mains power and discharge the old capacitor safely before handling. Replace with the exact same µF value — substituting a different rating can cause motor overheating or permanent damage.
