80UF Capacitor with 4 Terminals

80µF Start / Run Capacitor – 4 Terminals, 450V

If a motor hums but will not start, starts only with a nudge, or trips out after running briefly, a failed capacitor is one of the most common causes. Capacitors lose capacitance as they age, so the motor stops getting the torque it needs to turn over.

This is an 80µF start/run capacitor rated at 450V, with four spade pin terminals and a bolt/nut mounting point at the base. Backed by a 12-month warranty*.

What a failed capacitor looks like

• Motor humming or buzzing but not turning
• Motor slow to start, or only starting if turned by hand
• Motor cutting out on thermal overload after a short run
• Weak or laboured running under load
• Capacitor visibly bulging, split, leaking or burnt

Choosing the right capacitor

Capacitors are matched by specification, not by appliance model. Before ordering, check your old one and confirm:

• The µF rating matches – this unit is 80µF, and fitting the wrong value will not fix the fault and can damage the motor
• The replacement is rated at the same voltage or higher – this one is 450V
• You have room for the body size above, and the same mounting arrangement

We stock other values – if your old capacitor reads something different, ask and we will point you to the right one.

Not sure which you need? Send us a photo of the old capacitor showing its markings and we will confirm the correct replacement.

Why buy from Electrical Supplies Australia

• Full specifications published – no guessing on size or rating
• 12-month warranty* for peace of mind
• Fast dispatch from our Brisbane warehouse
• 14-day returns

*Warranty covers manufacturing defects. Capacitors store an electrical charge even when disconnected and should be discharged and replaced by a qualified person. Correct fitment is the responsibility of the installer.
