For safe and reliable performance of virtually any motor run system,
choose Aerovox capacitors. Our SuperMet line of oil impregnated,
AC capacitors for use in motor run, HVAC, UPS and other general
purpose applications are constructed using high quality materials
and Lean Six Sigma manufacturing practices. If you have
specialized needs, our flexible manufacturing processes allow us to
quickly provide custom configurations.
Aerovox capacitors undergo 100% electrical testing including:
Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) for 2000 hours at 125% voltage rating
and temperature at 10°C greater than maximum rating, fault
current, and mechanical testing. The SuperMet line is designed to
meet performance testing outlined in the Electrical Industry
Association (EIA) standard #RS-456A.
Aerovox provides intelligent capacitor solutions.
Aerovox’s line of SuperMet capacitors are manufactured using state-of-
the-art, self-healing metalized polypropylene film technology. Designed
to operate in environments where there is a requirement for an internal
protective device, these capacitors incorporate a UL-approved pressure-
sensitive interrupter to remove the capacitor from the circuit at end of life.
Each capacitor is filled with our patented, environmentally-friendly ESO
(Epoxidized Soybean Oil). Used as the dielectric fluid, the soybean oil
protects metallized film from corrosion, aids optimum heat transfer, and
helps suppress the degrading effects of corona, which may otherwise
cause premature failures. Proprietary processing with vacuum and heat
cycles ensures complete removal of moisture, resulting in superior
capacitance stability and long term reliability.
SuperMet capacitors are available in single and dual ratings, and in
industry-standard round and oval, oil-filled, metal can designs as well
as a European styled aluminum or plastic can with a mounting stud on
the bottom.
All capacitors are built to UL810 standards, and designed to meet or
exceed EIA-456-A performance standards.

Dual Capacitors
Aerovox dual protected capacitors are designed for
optimum performance in HVAC applications such as
unitary and window air conditioners. By winding two
capacitors on one core, Aerovox is able to provide both
capacitor values in an efficient size and cost effective
3-terminal package. These capacitors are available in
370 VAC and 440 VAC, with typical fan ratings of 3, 5,
7.5, and 10 µF. Compressor (Herm) cap ratings are
available in ratings of 15 µF to 80 µF.
The most popular ratings are shown below, and
Aerovox maintains the designs for hundreds of different
combinations that are also available. Unlike a single
value capacitor, the dual units have a three-terminal
cover with a connection for the fan, the herm, and
common. The diagram to the right shows the number
of blades per terminal.
