Linear 2500-261 is a run capacitor from Linear, designed for use with Linear and OSCO gate operator systems. 60 MFD 370V run capacitor for single-phase AC Linear/OSCO gate operator motors. Rated at 110 VAC, 115 VAC, 120 VAC, 370V capacitor rating.
A: The 2500-261 is a 60 MFD (microfarad) 370-volt run capacitor used in single-phase 110/115/120 VAC 60 Hz gate operator motors in Linear SWR and SLR series and related OSCO gate operators.
A: The current specification is 60 MFD at 370V. An earlier superseded version was rated 64-77 MFD at 330V. Always use the current 370V 60 MFD specification for replacement.
A: The original specification of 64-77 MFD at 330V has been superseded by the current 60 MFD 370V rating. The 2500-261 listing sometimes still references the old spec, but 370V 60 MFD is the correct replacement value.
A: Run capacitors improve the starting torque and running efficiency of single-phase AC induction motors. Without a properly functioning capacitor, the gate operator motor may fail to start or run inefficiently.
A: This capacitor is used with 110/115/120 VAC 60 Hz single-phase gate operator motors. It is not intended for use with 3-phase or DC motor systems.
