CBB61 3-Wire 1.5uF 3uF Fan Motor Capacitor Specifications
- Condition: New
- Part Number: CBB61
- Capacitance: 1.5uF + 3uF (microfarads)
- Voltage Rating: 250VAC, 50/60Hz
- Capacitance Tolerance: ±5%
- Total Wires: 3
Usage / Applications
This capacitor (or condenser) delivers consistent electrical support for various AC motor systems, helping maintain steady torque and smooth speed transitions. Common applications include:
- Ceiling fan motor control
- Stand and pedestal floor fans
- Garage exhaust or vent fans
- Table-top and desktop fans (including Vornado fans)
When to use it: If your fan runs slowly, hums, or fails to change speeds properly, the capacitor may be weak or damaged. Replacing it restores stable performance and full-speed operation.
Compatibility Notes
- Compatible with most ceiling fan and floor fan brands, including Hunter, Hampton Bay, Harbor Breeze, Westinghouse, Kichler and others.
- Works with fans using a 3-wire capacitor configuration.
- Ensure the voltage rating matches or exceeds your original capacitor.
- For AC (alternating current) use only — not suitable for DC systems.
- Wire colors may vary; always follow your fan’s wiring diagram for proper installation.
FAQs
This 3-wire capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help fans start easily and run smoothly. It’s commonly used in ceiling fans, stand fans, garage ventilation units, and tabletop fans to maintain steady airflow and reliable performance.
If your fan hums, spins slowly, or doesn’t change speeds properly, the capacitor may be worn out or leaking. Replacing it usually restores normal operation.
Yes. This CBB61 capacitor works with ceiling fans, floor fans, Vornado tabletop fans, and garage ventilation fans that require a 3-wire setup.
No. Wire color may vary by manufacturer. Connect the wires following your fan’s wiring diagram, not by color alone.
Yes, using a capacitor with the same or higher voltage rating is safe. Never use one rated lower than the original.
No. Turn off the power, remove the old capacitor, and connect the new one using the same 3-wire configuration. Always make sure the power is off before installation.
