The World's most popular Generator Capacitor can be bought right here! High specification Condenser Capacitors with Polypropylene self-extinguishing fire protection. Can be used as a 2 or 4 tab connection and comes with a fixing bolt on the bottom (which can be removed as not used in all generators.)
We hold all the Generator Capacitors microfarad (uf) ratings in stock ready to ship. Please enter the information on the capacitor you removed.
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 Capacitor is made of Paper cells and has degraded. (Usually found on Chinese built generators.)
After watching your clip, I quickly identified the problem and ordered a replacement capacitor.
Always a gamble ordering from the web when you are on the other side of the world. No problem with Generator Guru!
The cap was easily fitted with the components supplied.
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Generator Guru. A brilliant service - thank you Generator Guru.

Long life capacitor
Posted by phil on 7th Apr 2014
I had a difficult time trying to find the proper capacitor for the generator. This one works perfectly out of the box but was considerably larger then the one fitted so I had to modify the cover a little to get it to fit bit I'm hopefully safe in the knowleddge it won't go wrong anytime soon.
Quick delivery and some magnetic Generator Guru business cards were included too!

A great little cap
Posted by Unknown on 7th Jan 2014
Used it to replace one of those black curved caps which decided to po pand spew out the grey shiney goop everywhere, so far no problems, working perfectly.
Easy to install and does the job, well recommended as a replacement.

You are truley the Guru!

After following your instructions and tracing the fault in my generator the problem was determined to be the capacitor. The original capacitor was a 15 uF, you recommended a 20 uF and it did the trick. My generator works better than when it was brand new. I ordered the part from you and it arrived quickly and at a great price.
Thank you very much for all of your help. You saved me lots of money too!
