Is this the right capacitor for my Macap M2?
This is the C246060 replacement capacitor for compatible Macap M2 grinders running on 110–120 V. Before ordering, check the part number and electrical ratings on your existing capacitor to make sure they match.
What are the capacitance, voltage and frequency ratings?
It has a capacitance of 20 µF, a maximum voltage rating of 250 V and a frequency rating of 50/60 Hz. These are the ratings to compare with your original capacitor.
Why does it say 250 V if my grinder runs on 110–120 V?
The 250 V figure is the capacitor's maximum voltage rating, not the grinder's power supply. This replacement is for compatible 110–120 V Macap M2 grinders. The 250 V rating does not make it a replacement for a 220–240 V grinder.
Can this help if my grinder has trouble starting?
Yes, if a faulty capacitor is causing the problem. The capacitor helps the motor start and run as intended, so replacing a failed one can restore normal operation. It will not resolve a starting problem caused by a different fault.
Who makes this capacitor, and what is the Ducati model number?
It is made by Ducati for Macap. The Ducati model number is 416.18.28, and the Macap part number is C246060. You can use these references alongside the electrical ratings when checking your replacement.
Where is it made, and is it UL certified?
It is made in Italy and is UL certified.
How many capacitors are included?
