ICAR 20.0 µF 450V Motor Run Capacitor

(Always check your motor plate or existing capacitor to confirm the correct µF rating.)

The ICAR 20.0 µF 450V capacitor is a high‑quality motor run capacitor designed for single‑phase induction motors commonly used in pool pumps, spa pumps, and small appliances. Built using self‑healing metallised polypropylene film, it offers excellent reliability and long service life.

20 µF is a standard run‑capacitor value for 0.75–1.25 HP single‑phase induction motors.

ICAR is widely used as an OEM replacement in pool pumps, spa pumps, compressors, and fans.
