Danfoss Start Capacitor 117U5017 – 80 µF, 220 V for SC compressors The Danfoss start capacitor 117U5017 is an electrical start component for suitable Danfoss SC compressors in refrigeration and air-conditioning applications. With a capacitance of 80 µF and a rated voltage of 220 V, the start capacitor ensures the reliable start-up of the compressor motor. The capacitor is suitable both as a spare part for maintenance and repair, and for replacing an existing start capacitor with the appropriate electrical rating. Its compact design facilitates installation in the designated start-up and connection components. Advantages at a glance 80 µF capacitance for starting suitable Danfoss SC compressors 220 V rated voltage Genuine Danfoss spare part with part number 117U5017 VDE and UL approval Compact design, approx. 95 mm long and 39 mm in diameter Simple electrical connection via a 6.3 mm flat plug Suitable for the repair, maintenance and replacement of existing starter components Application The Danfoss 117U5017 start capacitor is designed for selected Danfoss SC hermetically sealed compressors. During the start-up process, the capacitor provides the additional capacitance required for the start-up phase. If the start-up capacitor is faulty or worn out, for example, the compressor may fail to start correctly. When replacing it, it is therefore essential that the capacitance, voltage and compressor designation match those of the intended start-up system. Replacement for Danfoss 117U5019 According to the manufacturer, the Danfoss 117U5017 replaces the previous start capacitor, the 117U5019. Danfoss specifies identical technical data for both models. The 117U5017 has VDE and UL approval. Technical data Manufacturer Danfoss Product type Start-up capacitor / Start capacitor Manufacturer’s No. 117U5017 Capacity 80 µF Rated voltage 220 V Compressor series Danfoss SC Connection 6.3 mm flat plug Mounting Type A / Snap-on terminal Discharge resistor No Length approx. 95 mm Diameter approx. 39 mm Approvals VDE / UL Gross weight 0.06 kg EAN 5702428540810 Suitable for SC compressors Danfoss supplies the 117U5017 as a start capacitor for SC series compressors. Before replacement, the exact compressor or start component assignment should be checked. Replacement for 117U5019 The 117U5017 replaces the Danfoss 117U5019. According to the manufacturer, both start capacitors have identical technical specifications. Important note When selecting a start capacitor, particular attention must be paid to capacitance, voltage and compressor compatibility. The capacitor should only be used if the technical specifications match those of the intended start system.
