GC Run Capacitors

The capacitor is a component which has the ability or “capacity” to store energy in the form of an electrical charge producing a potential difference (Static Voltage) across its plates, much like a small rechargeable battery. The run capacitor is used to improve the running efficiency of a compressor’s motor. The run capacitor is placed in series with the start winding of the compressor and will remain in the circuit as the motor operates. GCS Series are cylindrical / Oval Aluminum case designed incorporating with safety mechanism device, Offering long life and reliable products. These are popular in air conditioners, Washing machines Lighting fixtures, etc.
