DAB ACTIVE EI 30/50 M Capacitor

The DAB ACTIVE EI 30/50 M is a single-phase pressure system / booster set commonly found in well & domestic pumps setups. Its motor runs on a 12.5µF 450V motor-run capacitor in a CD60-style can — here's the exact replacement and how to confirm it.

The DAB ACTIVE EI 30/50 M pressure system / booster set uses a 12.5µF 450V motor-run capacitor (CD60-style) — it's the part that helps the single-phase motor start and keep running smoothly. We source this value from our pump-spares records. Match the replacement to 12.5µF (about 11.3–13.8µF) at 450V or higher; the checklist below covers how to confirm it against your own capacitor.

How to be sure you get the right one

  • µF must matchthe ACTIVE EI 30/50 M needs 12.5µF (about 11.3–13.8µF), within roughly ±5–10%. Too low and the motor won't start; too high and it runs hot.
  • Voltage can go up, never downa 450V (or higher) cap is correct here; a 450V part safely replaces a 370V or 440V one. Don't fit below 450V.
  • Check the terminal + sizemake sure the new cap physically fits the housing and the connections match (or use a spade adapter).
  • When in doubt, read your old capthe printed µF and voltage on the part you're replacing is the final word.

Common questions — DAB ACTIVE EI 30/50 M capacitor

What capacitor does the DAB ACTIVE EI 30/50 M use?

A 12.5µF 450V motor-run capacitor (CD60-style). Always confirm against the rating printed on your existing capacitor before ordering.

Can I fit a higher-voltage capacitor in the DAB ACTIVE EI 30/50 M?

Yes — voltage can be equal or higher, never lower. A capacitor rated 450V or above is fine (450V is the usual choice), as long as the µF still matches (12.5µF).
