Indeed, the BMI 92A start capacitor is an AC motor start capacitor listed across four voltage bands from 125 Vac to 330 Vac.
BMI 92A start capacitor — Available Options
Available across the following voltage bands, with the capacitance bands shown on each part number:
125-156 Vac — 12 capacitance bands
165-200 Vac — 6 capacitance bands
220-275 Vac — 20 capacitance bands
330 Vac — 12 capacitance bands, some with a built-in resistor
Because some variants in the 330 Vac band specify a resistor, so the exact part number on the old unit should be checked, not just the voltage and capacitance. Therefore, matching the capacitance and voltage marking on the existing unit against the options above is the first step. In addition, check the body dimensions, terminals and mounting arrangement, since a similar body size alone does not confirm an electrical match.
Applications
Overall, this capacitor suits:
For example, replacing a BMI Type 92A start capacitor by matching the voltage band and capacitance band
Also, motor start circuits already confirmed as needing a start capacitor rather than a run capacitor
In particular, 330 Vac jobs where the old part included a resistor
Finally, general electrical contracting and industrial maintenance work calling for motor start capacitors
Overall, Engineering Supplies stocks this capacitor at our Perth warehouse for electrical contractors, motor rewinders and industrial buyers throughout Australia.
Then, record the capacitance, voltage and other markings on the existing unit, and check the body dimensions, terminals and mounting arrangement against the replacement, since a similar body size alone does not confirm an electrical match. Also, if the label is unclear, our team can help identify the right part from a photo together with the motor model and nameplate details.
