Husqvarna PG 280 Start Capacitor – 587174401
The Husqvarna 587174401 Motor Start Capacitor is a 150µF 250VAC starting capacitor used in the Husqvarna PG 280 floor grinder.
This capacitor forms part of the PG 280 motor starting circuit, helping the motor develop the additional starting torque required during startup. It is an important electrical component when servicing or repairing the starting system of the PG 280.
Manufactured by JKD / Jiekeda, this capacitor is identified as a CD60 Motor Starting Capacitor and is rated at 150µF, 250VAC and 50/60Hz.
150µF 250VAC PG 280 Start Capacitor
The 587174401 start capacitor has a cylindrical body measuring approximately 50mm in diameter × 96mm long and weighs approximately 200 grams. It features two blade terminals for connection to the motor starting circuit.
The capacitor has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +65°C, with its capacitance, voltage and frequency ratings clearly marked on the body for identification when replacing an existing capacitor.
Husqvarna PG 280 Motor Starting System
Motor start capacitors are designed for short-duration operation during motor startup and should not be confused with motor run capacitors, which perform a different function within a single-phase motor circuit.
If a Husqvarna PG 280 is experiencing difficulty starting, failing to reach operating speed or displaying other motor-starting symptoms, the start capacitor is one of the electrical components that may require inspection and testing.
Starting problems can also be caused by other electrical or mechanical components, so the machine should be correctly diagnosed before replacing the capacitor.
Replacement Husqvarna 587174401 Capacitor
When replacing the start capacitor in a Husqvarna PG 280, compare the existing component with the replacement before installation.
Check the Husqvarna part number 587174401, capacitance rating of 150µF, voltage rating of 250VAC, physical dimensions and terminal configuration to ensure the correct component is being fitted.
The part number may also be written as 5871744-01 or 587 17 44-01.
