Description
Overview
This 40 µF, 450 V run capacitor is the replacement part for the motor of a 2 HP submersible turbine pump. When the capacitor weakens, a single-phase pump motor struggles to start or hums and trips, and a forecourt can lose fuel sales until it is swapped. Keep one on hand with the 2 HP pump motor spares. It is a different value from the 25 µF part used on the 1.5 HP pump, so order by pump rating.
Key features
- 40 µF capacitance, ±5% tolerance
- 450 V voltage rating
- Made for the 2 HP submersible turbine pump motor
- Compact body, 50 × 50 × 150 mm
- Light at 0.2 kg and easy to stock
Where it works
Service station owners and pump technicians in Gauteng, KZN and the Western Cape keep a spare for emergency call-outs, and mine fuel bays in Mpumalanga and Limpopo do the same for their bulk tanks. Fleet depots running buried diesel tanks find it cheaper to hold a capacitor than wait on a courier. See the submersible turbine pump range for heads and motors, or the 25 µF capacitor if you run the smaller pump. Isolate the power and discharge the old unit before you swap it.

Delivery and warranty
Kamano delivers with its own trucks from Polokwane to all nine provinces in 1 to 3 days. Delivery is free on orders of R20,000 or more (VAT incl.). This item ships at 0.3 kg, which puts it in our lowest delivery band of R550 for orders up to 30 kg. Ask us for the warranty terms on this model.
Questions about this product
Can I use this on a 1.5 HP pump?
No. This 40 µF capacitor is matched to the 2 HP motor. The 1.5 HP motor uses a 25 µF part, and a wrong value can overheat the winding or leave the pump short of starting torque. Check the rating plate on your motor, or send it to us, and we will confirm the correct capacitor.
How often does a pump capacitor need replacing?
There is no fixed interval. Capacitors age with heat and starting cycles, and a busy forecourt pump may need one sooner than a farm tank. Replace it when the pump hums, starts slowly or trips, and a meter shows the capacitance has drifted outside 40 µF plus or minus 5 percent.
How much is delivery for a small part like this?
At 0.3 kg the capacitor sits in our lowest band, R550 for orders up to 30 kg. It costs nothing extra if you add it to a larger order under that weight, and orders of R20,000 or more (VAT incl.) ship free. Our own trucks reach all nine provinces from Polokwane in 1 to 3 days.
