Bonaire Capacitor With Leads 20MFD

This Bonaire 20MFD capacitor with leads is a direct replacement part designed to get your Bonaire evaporative cooler back up and running. It's a critical component for motor start-up and continuous operation, ensuring your unit pushes out cool air when you need it most.

In the Australian heat, an evaporative cooler is a godsend, and a failing capacitor can quickly turn it into a fancy paperweight. From experience, a noisy or slow-starting fan motor often points to a tired capacitor that's lost its mojo.

Best For

This 20MFD capacitor is specifically for Bonaire evaporative cooling units that require this particular rating and connection style.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct fit for Bonaire evaporative coolers. This specific capacitor (PN 9063800SP) with a 20MFD rating is compatible with various Bonaire models that utilise this size. If you're running a different model, check fittings and specs before ordering.

Features

• 20MFD capacitance for reliable motor operation.
• Pre-wired with leads for straightforward installation.
• Genuine Bonaire part (PN 9063800SP) ensures perfect fit and function.
• Built to handle the demands of evaporative cooling systems.

What's in the Box

• 1 x Bonaire Capacitor With Leads 20MFD (CTSPS9063800SP)

Using It on the Job

1. Always isolate power to the evaporative cooler at the main switchboard and apply a lockout tag before starting any work. Safety first.

2. Locate the existing capacitor, usually near the fan motor or control box. Take a photo of the wiring before disconnecting anything.

3. Discharge the old capacitor safely using a resistor tool or insulated screwdriver to bridge the terminals. Capacitors can hold a charge even when power is off.

4. Disconnect the old capacitor and install the new Bonaire 20MFD unit, ensuring all lead connections match your previous setup.

5. Secure the capacitor firmly in its bracket, restore power, and test the cooler's operation. Listen for smooth fan startup and consistent performance.

Limitations & Safety Notes

• Always ensure power is completely isolated and locked out before attempting any electrical work.
• Discharge capacitors safely to avoid electrical shock, even after power is removed.
• Only use this capacitor for applications requiring a 20MFD rating, specifically Bonaire evaporative coolers. Using the wrong MFD can damage your motor.
• Follow Australian standards and Safe Work guidance for electrical maintenance.

Tradie Pro Tip

Before you swap out a capacitor, always check its terminals for signs of swelling or leakage. That's a dead giveaway it's on its last legs, and a quick replacement can save you a motor burn-out.

Pair With

Pair with a quality multimeter for diagnosing electrical faults and a Bonaire fan motor if the issue isn't just the capacitor. Check out our range of evaporative cooler spare parts.
