The Wacker Neuson Capacitor is a genuine OEM component designed for the PSW3 1500 and PS2-1500 series submersible pumps. As a direct OEM replacement, this capacitor is sourced from Wacker Neuson and built to the same electrical specifications as the original unit installed at the factory. Confirmed fitment includes the PSW3 1500 (220V/60Hz, 2hp) and PS2-1500 models, making it straightforward to match this part to your pump. Ordering by part number ensures you receive the correct capacitor without guesswork.
Key Features
- Correct Electrical Rating — Genuine OEM capacitor matched to the motor start/run specifications of the PSW3 1500 and PS2-1500 submersible pumps, ensuring proper motor energization.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Replaces the original capacitor in the pump's motor housing with no modification to wiring or mounting required.
- Confirmed Submersible Pump Fitment — Compatible with PSW3 1500 and PS2-1500 series Wacker Neuson submersible pumps.
- Restores Full Motor Function — A failed or degraded capacitor causes the pump motor to struggle to start or run inefficiently; replacing it restores proper startup torque and steady operation.
- Electrical Safety Compliance — Using the correct OEM-rated capacitor in a submersible pump application is critical to safe motor operation and prevents overloading the pump's electrical circuit.
A capacitor in a submersible pump motor stores and releases an electrical charge to generate the torque needed to start and sustain motor rotation. In single-phase pump motors like those found in the PSW3 1500 and PS2-1500, the capacitor is essential — without it, the motor cannot develop the phase shift required to spin up under load. When a capacitor weakens or fails, the pump may hum without starting, run sluggishly, or trip thermal protection repeatedly. Replacing a worn capacitor with the correct OEM unit restores the pump's ability to start reliably and deliver full flow performance.
