The Type PSU is a compact non-polar, dual voltage
rated, AC motor start capacitor constructed in a
round rugged bakelite case. To extend the life of
relay contact switches, the PSU can be purchased
with optional bleeder resistors assembled with 1/4”
quick-connect terminals. An optional mounting
system consisting of a bracket that is attached to
the capacitor case with one end cap is available.
The PL end caps are for use with wiring through
the bracket to the motor and the PLA end caps are
for o motor mounting.

for certain applications are based on the knowledge that the Cornell Dubilier company providing such

Cornell Dubilier strives to apply the most stringent quality and safety standards regarding the design
and manufacturing of its products, in light of the current state of the art, isolated component failures may
still occur. Accordingly, customer applications which require a high degree of reliability or safety should
employ suitable designs or other safeguards (such as installation of protective circuitry or redundancies
or other appropriate protective measures) in order to ensure that the failure of an electrical component
does not result in a risk of personal injury or property damage. Although all product-related warnings,
cautions and notes must be observed, the customer should not assume that all safety measures are indi-
cated in such warnings, cautions and notes, or that other safety measures may not be required.
