DAB KVCX 45/80M Capacitor
The DAB KVCX 45/80M is a single-phase vertical multistage pressure pump commonly found in well & domestic pumps setups. Its motor runs on a 31.5µF 450V motor-run capacitor in a CD60-style can — here's the exact replacement and how to confirm it.

The DAB KVCX 45/80M vertical multistage pressure pump uses a 31.5µF 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 31.5µF (about 28.4–34.7µF) at 450V or higher; the checklist below covers how to confirm it against your own capacitor.
Matching capacitor
We don't currently stock this exact value (31.5µF 450V). Browse the closest matches or ask us — we can usually source it.
How to be sure you get the right one
- µF must match — the KVCX 45/80M needs 31.5µF (about 28.4–34.7µF), within roughly ±5–10%. Too low and the motor won't start; too high and it runs hot.
- Voltage can go up, never down — a 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 + size — make sure the new cap physically fits the housing and the connections match (or use a spade adapter).
- When in doubt, read your old cap — the printed µF and voltage on the part you're replacing is the final word.
Common questions — DAB KVCX 45/80M capacitor
What capacitor does the DAB KVCX 45/80M use?
A 31.5µF 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 KVCX 45/80M?
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 (31.5µF).
