Capcom Capacitors
Capacitors for Motor Run Applications
Genteq metallized film capacitors are unsurpassed in terms of size, weight, performance, and
reliability for AC applications. Capcom over 60 year of capacitor manufacturing experience to the
product lines described in this publication. These capacitors represent the best in product design for
long-term reliability and safe operation. Capcom´s materials, product, and process development
work continue to provide capacitor users with outstanding total value.
The GEM III Motor Run Capacitors are widely used with permanent split phase capacitor motors for
the more efficient use of electricity. These motors are used in heating and cooling equipment,
appliances, business machines, office equipment, and a wide variety of light commercial and
industrial equipment.
GEM III Construction
Capcom´s GEM III capacitors are manufactured with
high-grade metallized polypropylene film. This film is in
the range of 5 to 10 microns thick, depending on the
application, voltage, and conditions. The metallized
electrode is several hundred angstroms thick.
The film is wound into capacitor rolls on high-speed,
high-
precision machines. The winding is extremely tight so
that there is not enough space between the layers for
corona (localized partial electrical discharges) to occur.
The rolls are sprayed on both ends with metal to make
the connection to the extremely thin edges of the
metallized electrodes. This process is critical to the
quality and performance of the capacitors.
The rolls are assembled in metal cases, Capcom´s
proprietary dielectric liquid is introduced under vacuum,
and the capacitors are sealed. They are then subjected
to 100% electrical testing for capacitance, dissipation
factor, and high potential electrical withstand, both
terminal-to-terminal and terminal-to-case.

In the Catalog Number listings a four character U.L. Code, Pxxx, is given. This number is part of the
listing for Capcom in U.L. File No. E322597. When applying to U.L. for approvals or recognition of
equipment using these capacitors refer to the Pxxx number and not the Catalog Number of the
capacitor in question.
Proper operation of the PSI requires that the cover be able to expand without restriction. The
following mounting considerations should be noted in mounting the these capacitors.
*Underwriter´s Laboratory
Pressure Sensitive Interrupter
All the capacitors listed in this publication contain Capcom´s Pressure Sensitive Interrupter (PSI).
This device, is designed to sense the build-up of pressure within the capacitor if a fault occurs and
to interrupt the internal electrical connections before the case can rupture.
The PSI carries U.L.* recognition for applications where the specified fault currents are not
exceeded. The fault current is the maximum current that is available from the circuit to flow
through the capacitor if the capacitor were to become a short circuit with zero impedance. It is
the responsibility of the capacitor user to determine what the available fault current is for a
particular application.

Cut-Out Clereance
There must be sufficient clearance
between the tops of the terminals (and/or
the assembled wire connectors) and a
plane perpendicular to the capacitor
terminals. This clearance must be at least
0.5 inches plus electrical spacing
requirements of the end application.
In certain instances, capacitors are
mounted with the top of the capacitors
case resting against the chassis and the
terminals protruding through the chassis.
Care must be taken to see that the
cutout in the chassis is large enough. The
following dimensions are recommended.

This capacitor series is designed specifically for the motor run applications where the capacitors are
used in conjunction with permanent split capacitor type motors. They may be used on either 50 or
60-Hertz systems but should not be used at higher frequencies or in applications where higher
frequency harmonics are present. For those types of applications the General Purpose AC
Capacitors should be used. If there are any questions regarding the correct application of these
products, please contact your Capcom sales representative.
