The Bell & Gossett M28085 Single Run Capacitor (10 MFD, 270V, 50/60 Hz) has the following approximate dimensions (without packaging):
Length: 2.5 inches
Width: 1 inch
Depth: 1 inch
Regarding compatibility:
While the physical size is similar to other small motor capacitors, this model is 10 MFD at 270V, whereas your existing capacitor is 8 MFD at 180V.
The higher voltage rating (270V vs. 180V) is generally acceptable, as capacitors can safely operate at voltages below their maximum rating.
However, the microfarad (MFD) value is higher than your current capacitor. Using a capacitor with a significantly different MFD value may affect motor performance and potentially shorten motor life.
Recommendation: For best performance and to avoid possible damage, replace your capacitor with one matching the original specifications (8 MFD, at least 180V). If you’re unsure, we highly recommend consulting a qualified technician familiar with Bell & Gossett pumps to confirm compatibility before installation.
