Capacitor CBB60 for cable winch / hoist needed

just googled cbb60 and theres about 2k on ebay

Yes, but not the type I want. I checked rs-online now, but without success.

But thanks, guys.

hi try cpc or farnell online electrical or rs components .


cheers mickey

Infact I already contacted the hoist manufacturer asking for spare parts, if necessary I would buy two complete control units (the capacitor sits inside).

So they sold me two units. But they were different, as they only had four wires unlike my original ones with five wires. Also the capacity was bit lower and the capacitor itself had four cables unlike mine with three cables. They had done some changes meanwhile.

I asked if it was possible to get the original parts as spares but still waiting for an answer.

I already tried to search for LMG, but german google did not bring me the company You mentioned. On their website I was able to find the right type of capacitor now.

So I´m going to contact them directly.

Thank You very very much for that hint! That was the kind of answer I was hoping for!

But thanks to the other contributors, too.

I could do that. Or I just use the two, the manufacturer of the hoist already sent me, but they're different ones.





They have four cables and are connected differently.

And since I'm not really an electronics expert, I would rather copy the same set-up.

I know that capacitors can do a mess when installed or used the wrong way.

For now I´m still waiting for answers from both manufacturers.

What you have there will work fine. The 3 wire just has the negative side of the two capacitors connected internally. (We call that the 'common') The 4 wire doesnt have them connected internally so just connect both of them to the same terminal externally.

The only thing you might have trouble with is determining which of the positive red wires goes to which capacitor without having a capacitance meter to test them. However looks like one is marked with an R so guessing that will be you Run capacitor and other other is your start. The start is switched by the motors centrifugal switch. The run is always connected across the windings. You could work back through the replacement units wiring to work it out what's what too.

You will have to do a bit of thinking to find which colour wire from the motor is which I think. It's not obvious from the diagram alone but ultimately you should just be able to swap those capacitors like for like. I don't think 5uf will make much difference.

Google for a single phase motor with start winding diagram to help you.
