DUCATI Motor Run Film Capacitor, 25 µF, 450 V AC, 4.16.10 Series

The DUCATI 4.16.10 Series Motor Run Film Capacitor is a high-performance component designed for reliable operation in AC motor-run applications. It utilises a metalised polypropylene (PP) film dielectric, with electrodes formed by an ultra-thin vacuum-deposited metal coating. This construction is housed within a robust, self-extinguishing plastic case and cover, with the capacitive element sealed using polyurethane resin for enhanced durability and environmental protection.

Engineered for efficiency, this capacitor features non-inductive winding for low electrical losses. Its self-healing property is a critical safety feature, allowing the capacitor to recover from minor dielectric breakdowns and avoid permanent short circuits, thereby increasing service life and reliability. The compact dimensions and limited weight facilitate easy installation in space-constrained applications.

Safety is paramount, with the design offering no leakage risk and meeting Class-P0 safety protection standards. For convenient connection, it is supplied with a 250mm twin cable and an integrated M8 stud mounting system, ensuring a secure mechanical and electrical fit.
