I have an Edko electric gate that has a Mepco Electra start capacitor. The gate motor is a single phase 115 VAC with a 24 VDC control. I think Edko was bought by Chamberlain based on what I have read online so parts info is scarce.
The open and close relays are both connected to the motor via a capacitor. The capacitor has a label with the following markings:
Mepco Electra
3535B5A0072A330B4
35F1663BA8
330 VAC 60HZ 3628726
It has 4 spade connectors on the end and measures 4.25" long and 1.75" diameter.
Looks like it was manufactured in 1988 (so its done well to survive this long) but I haven't been able to find a good cross reference that helps me translate the old Mepco Electra part numbers into something current.
Unfortunately the wiring diagram simply shows 'Motor Capacitor' without any spec/performance information. Can anyone help with a recommendation of what I should buy to replace it?
Thanks in advance
