The Wacker Neuson 5000163117 is a genuine OEM 25 MFD Capacitor designed for the LTN6, LTW6K, LTW8K, and LTV series light towers. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this capacitor matches the original component specification for a direct, drop-in installation into the lighting electrical system. It is compatible across a wide range of LTN6 and LTW configurations including Caterpillar, Kohler, Kubota, and Lombardini-powered variants, as well as cold weather, Tier 4F, and custom builds. Using the correct OEM part ensures the lamp circuit operates as designed, keeping your light tower performing at full output on the jobsite.
Key Features
- Correct Capacitance Rating — Rated at 25 MFD to match the original electrical specification of the light tower lamp circuit, ensuring proper motor-start and run performance for the lighting assembly.
- Genuine OEM Component — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson OEM standards, this capacitor is the same part installed at the factory — no guesswork on compatibility or electrical rating.
- Direct Installation Fit — Replaces the original capacitor in the control box or ballast assembly with no adaptation needed; terminals and form factor match the production unit.
- Wide Model Coverage — Compatible with LTN6C, LTN6L, LTN6K, LTW6K, LTW8K, LTV6K, LTV6L, and LTC series light towers across standard, cold weather, Tier 4F, and custom configurations.
- Protects Lamp and Ballast — A failed or degraded capacitor causes lamps to flicker, fail to strike, or draw excessive current that can damage the ballast. Replacing it promptly restores full lighting output and protects downstream electrical components.
- Electrical Safety Assurance — Using a correctly rated OEM capacitor prevents overvoltage stress on the lamp circuit, reducing risk of overheating or electrical failure in the control box.
A capacitor in a light tower's lamp circuit stores and releases electrical energy to help strike the arc in metal halide or similar discharge lamps and maintain stable lamp operation during the run cycle. It works alongside the ballast to regulate the voltage and current delivered to the bulb — without a functioning capacitor, the lamp may fail to start, flicker repeatedly, or draw irregular current that shortens bulb and ballast life. When a capacitor degrades, its capacitance value drifts outside the rated range, causing symptoms that can be mistaken for a bad bulb or ballast; replacing it with the correct this part restores proper circuit behavior.
