Cbb61

[Capsized]

There must be a gazillion capacitors with a CBB61 designation. These are commonly used for ceiling fans and the like.

What in the heck does CBB61 mean?

Re: Cbb61

For example: “CBB60” Capacitor
C – meaning Capacitor
B – meaning the Dielectric is a non-polar organic film
B – meaning the Dielectric material is polypropylene
60 – meaning Plastic can motor run capacitor.Broadly applied to starting and running of AC single-phase motors at 50/60Hzfrequency for AC motor, electric engine, water pump, generator and high efficiency compressors of refrigerators etc.

The CBB61 capacitor and the CBB60 capacitor are basically the same in material and process, but the shape is different. The CBB61 capacitor is generally a square box plastic case, and the CBB60 capacitor is a cylindrical plastic case. Both the CBB61 and CBB60 capacitors are a type of polypropylene film capacitor and are all runing capacitors. CBB60 is mainly used for pumps,washing machines, compressors, etc. with high power. The CBB61 is mostly used for low power electric fans.

65 – meaning P2 Anti-explosion metal capacitor can motor run capacitor

Re: Cbb61

OK. That's exactly in the information that I was looking for.

Much obliged.
