4-Wire 5uF 5uF Ceiling Fan Capacitor Specifications

• Condition: New
• Part Number: CBB61
• Capacitance: 5uF + 5uF (microfarads)
• Voltage Rating: 250VAC, 50/60Hz
• Capacitance Tolerance: ±5%
• Total Wires: 4 (two on each side)

When to use it: If your fan hums, fails to start, or no longer changes speeds correctly, the capacitor may be weak or damaged. Replacing it is an easy and low-cost way to restore full power and speed control.

Compatibility Notes

• Compatible with many ceiling fan brands including Hunter, Hampton Bay, Harbor Breeze, Casablanca, Westinghouse, Kichler, and others.
• Your existing capacitor must have 4 wires.
• Always match or exceed the voltage rating of your original capacitor.
• For use with AC (alternating current) ceiling fans only — not for DC motors.
• Wire colors may vary between manufacturers; follow your fan’s wiring diagram for correct connections.

FAQs

1. How do I know if my ceiling fan capacitor needs replacement?

If your fan won’t start, spins slowly, or doesn’t switch speeds, the capacitor is likely worn out. Installing a new one usually restores normal operation.

2. Is it okay to use a capacitor with a higher voltage?

Yes. Using a capacitor with the same or higher voltage rating is safe. Never install one with a lower voltage rating.

3. Do I need to match the wire colors exactly?

No. The wire colors may differ. Match connections based on your fan’s wiring diagram, not color alone.

4. Can I use this capacitor on both 50Hz and 60Hz systems?

Yes, this CBB61 capacitor supports both 50Hz and 60Hz frequencies.

5. Is it hard to install?

Installation is simple. Turn off power, remove the old capacitor, and connect the new one using the same 4-wire configuration. No special tools are needed. Always ensure the power is off before installation.
