Packard PSMJ270R Motor Start Capacitor
This Packard PSMJ270R is a motor start capacitor rated for 165V AC with a microfarad range of 270-324 µF. It includes an integrated resistor and features a round blue case with Hydroknit construction. The component suits HVAC technicians replacing start capacitors in compatible motor circuits.
Practical limits of the 165V AC rating
The 165V AC rating restricts use to circuits that do not exceed this voltage. The fixed 270-324 µF capacitance range cannot be adjusted for motors requiring different values. The round case measures 1 13/16 in diameter by 3 3/8 in height, so installers must verify mounting space. Buyers needing higher voltage ratings or different capacitance values must select another part.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 270 µF or the 324 µF version for my motor?
The capacitor is rated 270-324 µF as a single range; select it when your motor nameplate calls for a value anywhere within that span.
What does the 165 VAC rating mean once the capacitor is installed?
It indicates the maximum continuous AC voltage the capacitor can handle; the circuit voltage must not exceed 165 VAC during operation.
