Husqvarna PG 280 Start Capacitor – 587174402 The Husqvarna 587174402 Motor Start Capacitor is a 300µF 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 300µF, 250VAC and 50/60Hz. 300µF 250VAC PG 280 Start Capacitor The 587174402 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 is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +65°C and is clearly marked with its capacitance, voltage and frequency specifications for easy identification when replacing an existing component. Husqvarna PG 280 Motor Starting System Motor start capacitors are designed to operate for a short period 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. A starting problem does not automatically mean the capacitor has failed, as other electrical or mechanical components can produce similar symptoms. The machine should be correctly diagnosed before replacing electrical components. Replacement Husqvarna 587174402 Capacitor When replacing the capacitor in a Husqvarna PG 280, always compare the existing component with the replacement before installation. Check the Husqvarna part number 587174402, capacitance rating of 300µF, voltage rating of 250VAC, physical dimensions and terminal configuration to ensure the correct component is being fitted. The part number may also appear in different formats, including 5871744-02 and 587 17 44-02.
