Amrad usa2229 Single Run Capacitor 80 Mfd 370/440 Vac

Product Description

The AMRAD usa2229 is an 80 microfarad (MFD) single run capacitor rated for 370/440 VAC service, manufactured in the USA and UL Recognized. Run capacitors provide continuous phase-shift current to PSC motors — including condenser fan motors and compressors — keeping them running efficiently once started. This round capacitor measures 2.2 inches in diameter and 5.2 inches tall, weighing 2 pounds. It is installed by licensed HVAC technicians during routine service calls or component replacements in residential and light commercial cooling and heat pump systems.

This capacitor is suited for single-capacitor applications in split-system air conditioners, heat pumps, and package units where the compressor or fan motor requires a dedicated run capacitor. Its dual-rated 370/440 VAC design covers a wide range of motor voltage requirements, reducing the number of different capacitor SKUs a technician needs to carry on the truck. Rated for operation at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz, it is compatible with standard North American equipment as well as some export or multi-frequency systems.

Key Features

• 80 MFD capacitance for high-demand PSC motor applications
• Dual voltage rating of 370/440 VAC reduces inventory complexity
• Round form factor fits standard capacitor brackets and clamps
• UL Recognized construction meets common job-site inspection requirements
• Manufactured in the USA
• Rated for 50/60 Hz operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement single run capacitor for residential and light commercial HVAC systems requiring an 80 MFD, 370/440 VAC round capacitor. Always verify the original capacitor MFD and voltage rating before installation.

Installation Notes

Run capacitors are installed by licensed HVAC technicians. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before handling capacitors, and discharge the existing capacitor fully before removal — capacitors can retain a lethal charge even after power is removed. Confirm the replacement MFD rating and voltage rating match or are approved for the motor nameplate before installing. Follow applicable local codes and the equipment manufacturer's service documentation.
