The run capacitor for the AstralPool CTX400
A 25 µF 450 VAC CBB60 motor-run capacitor with flying leads, sized for the AstralPool CTX400 pool pump. Single-phase pump motors like this one run with the capacitor permanently in circuit, so a weak capacitor shows up as a pump that struggles to start or runs hot.
Signs the CTX400 capacitor has failed
- the motor hums but won’t start, or only starts when the shaft is spun by hand
- the pump trips the breaker or overload shortly after starting
- the motor runs hot and slow, or the old capacitor is bulging or leaking
A replacement must match the µF value (±5%) and be rated at least the voltage of the original. This one is rated 450 VAC, fine for a AstralPool CTX400 on a 230 V supply.
The same capacitor rating is used in the AstralPool CTX, AstralPool CTX560, DAB Aquajet 112M, DAB Aquajet 132M, Grundfos JP6, Onga Pantera PPP1100, Onga Pantera PPP1500.
Before you order
Check the old part before fitting: match the µF printed on your old capacitor.
The value is printed on the side of the old capacitor as µF, uF or MFD.
