Onga Pantera PPP1100 Capacitor

The Onga Pantera PPP1100 is listed with a 25 µF (25 uF / 25 MFD) run capacitor. This CapacitorsNZ replacement is a 25 µF, 450 VAC CBB60 motor-run capacitor with core leads, for the pump’s single-phase motor. Before ordering, read the µF printed on your old capacitor: if it shows a value other than 25 µF, order that value instead.

Choosing the right capacitor for the Onga Pantera PPP1100

Two numbers matter. The capacitance (µF) has to match your old capacitor, normally within about 5%. The voltage rating has to be the same as or higher than the old one; a 450 VAC capacitor is a common choice for single-phase motors on a 230 V supply. The model codes PPP1100 and Pantera 1100 help you confirm which pump you have, but the value printed on the old capacitor is the one to follow.

This capacitor has core leads (wires coming out of the body). Note how your old one is wired before you disconnect it. If the numbers on your old capacitor don’t match this listing, contact us with a photo and we’ll point you to the right one. The Onga Pantera PPP1100 capacitor guide has more detail.

Signs the Pantera PPP1100 capacitor has failed

• The motor hums but won’t turn, or only starts after the shaft is spun by hand.
• The pump trips the breaker or thermal overload soon after starting.
• The motor runs hot, slow or noisy.
• The old capacitor is bulging, cracked or leaking oil.

Fitting the Pantera PPP1100 capacitor safely

Unplug the pump or turn it off at the isolator before opening the capacitor cover. A run capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off, so discharge it safely before touching the terminals. Photograph the wiring first, connect the new capacitor the same way, and secure it so the leads can’t rub on moving parts. If you are not confident working on mains wiring, have an electrician fit it.

Other pumps listed at 25 µF

The same 25 µF rating is listed for the AstralPool CTX, DAB Aquajet 112M, DAB Aquajet 132M, DAB K12/200, Grundfos JP6 and Onga Pantera PPP1500. The capacitor is also sold without a model name as our 25 µF 450 V CBB60 capacitor. If the pump is also leaking or noisy, the Onga Pantera PPP1100 service kit pairs this capacitor with the seal and bearing set.

Before you order

Check the old part before fitting: match the µF printed on your old capacitor.

What size capacitor does an Onga Pantera PPP1100 take?

The Onga Pantera PPP1100 is listed with a 25 µF run capacitor; this one is 450 VAC with flying leads. Always match the µF printed on your old capacitor.

My Pantera PPP1100 capacitor shows a different µF value. What should I do?

Go by the value printed on your old capacitor rather than this listing. Contact us with a photo of it and we'll help you find the matching capacitor for your Onga Pantera PPP1100.

How do I know if the Onga Pantera PPP1100 capacitor has failed?

The usual signs are a motor that hums but won't start, starts only when the shaft is spun by hand, or trips the breaker. A bulging or leaking capacitor on a Pantera PPP1100 should be replaced.

Can I use a capacitor with a higher voltage rating on my Pantera PPP1100?

Yes. The voltage rating can be the same or higher than your old capacitor, but the µF must match. This 450 VAC capacitor for the Onga Pantera PPP1100 is 25 µF.

Does the Onga Pantera PPP1500 use the same capacitor as the PPP1100?

The Onga Pantera PPP1500 is listed with the same 25 µF rating as the Pantera PPP1100. Check the µF on your old capacitor to confirm before ordering.

What if it doesn't fit?

If you're unsure, send us a photo of your old part and the pump's label before ordering.
