Corporate Profile
Commonwealth Sprague Capacitor, Inc. (CSCI), formerly a division of Sprague Electric Company, has been manufacturing motor run capacitors since the 1940’s in North Adams, Massachusetts. Sprague has been a leading supplier to many of the well established motor, compressor, and HVAC manufacturers in the industry. Commonwealth Sprague is the only US motor run capacitor manufacturer that metallizes its own polypropylene film. This key attribute allows CSCI to quickly adjust material types to meet fluctuating market demand. Commonwealth Sprague is dedicated to providing high quality products built to US standards for the international marketplace. Continuous improvements in the design, performance, and cost effectiveness of CSCI capacitors are the primary reasons we have been a premiere supplier of motor run capacitors for over 50 years.

Motor Run Capacitors
Description Metallized polypropylene oil-filled capacitors manufactured by Commonwealth Sprague Capacitor, Inc. offer improved performance and proven reliability in split phase motor, compressor, filter, and general AC applications. The metallized polypropylene capacitor is self healing. Any defect that occurs in the dielectric is automatically “cleared” within microseconds, and the capacitor continues to function at full efficiency. The metallized electrode evaporates around the defect allowing full functionality of the component with negligible capacitance loss. The 325P and 328P Series capacitors have excellent capacitance stability with time and temperature, and very low internal power losses. The low power loss is a result of the minimal dissipation factor of the dielectric. Offered in AC voltage ranges from 240 Volt to 660 Volt at 60 Hertz, these capacitors are available with capacitance values ranging from 3 to 100 µF (micro-Farads).
Metallized Polypropylene Film The primary component of these motor run capacitors is the metallized film. The electrode is vacuum deposited on specially formulated polypropylene film to create a high quality metallized film. CSCI also has led the industry in applying the latest film advances. This capability has allowed CSCI to lead the industry in the development of thinner metallized films and smaller capacitors.
