High specification Capacitor manufactured for long life.
Generator Guru says:
It is common for the capacitor on a generator to test as working correctly, but then fail when the higher voltages are applied to it by the alternator. It is advisable to always change your Generator Capacitor if the voltage changes (and the engine is normal speed.) This causes 99% of the problems with the electricity output on brushless generators and can damage your alternator if it completely fails, sending a high voltage through the alternator. This could burn out the windings and result in a very expensive replacement being required.
The Capacitor is essential to your Generator producing electricity. It is required to excite the Alternator windings and reduce voltage surges. Capacitors should last the lifetime of the generator, but can burn out or be damaged if any of the following occur:
Generator user has tried to draw more power than the Generator can produce.
A surge has happened on equipment and the capacitor has blown to protect the Alternator.

The part was exactly as described and arrived very quickly. I followed your diagnostic testing which made it easy to identify that it was a faulty condensor which is now rectified

My 800 watt generator stopped making electricity. After searching the web, I came across Generator Guru. Watched the video online on how to diagnose a capacitor problem. Performed the suggested test. Concluded that I had a faulty capacitor. Looked up the part on their extensive inventory of parts for mine (any just about every other generator made!) and ordered the part. Part arrived in a timely manner . I installed it and voila, the unit was making electricity again. Thanks to all the Generator Guru staff. Great experience.
