Diversitech 45050H Motor Run Capacitor 5 Mfd 440V

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH 45050H is an oval motor run capacitor rated at 5 microfarads (MFD) and 440 volts, designed to maintain a continuous phase shift in single-phase AC motors used in HVAC equipment. Motor run capacitors stay energized throughout the full motor operating cycle, providing the torque and efficiency needed to keep compressors, condenser fan motors, and blower motors running at rated speed. At 0.15 pounds and compact oval dimensions, the 45050H fits neatly in standard capacitor brackets inside condensing units and air handlers. HVAC technicians install this capacitor as a direct replacement when a failed or out-of-tolerance unit causes motor hard starts, reduced airflow, or compressor dropout.

The 45050H is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC applications where a 5 MFD, 440-volt oval run capacitor is specified. Typical installations include split-system condensing units, package units, and air handlers requiring a single-rated run capacitor for condenser fan motors or blower motors. Its 440-volt rating makes it appropriate for both 208/230-volt and 277-volt motor circuits, providing a margin above standard operating voltage to extend service life in high-ambient conditions.

Key Features

• 5 MFD capacitance rating for single-phase motor run applications
• 440-volt rating compatible with 208/230-volt and 277-volt motor circuits
• Oval form factor fits standard HVAC capacitor mounting brackets
• Compact size at 15.12 x 2.25 x 1.4 inches for tight equipment compartments
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds for easy handling during service calls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for single-phase HVAC motors requiring a 5 MFD, 440-volt oval run capacitor in residential and light commercial equipment.

Installation Notes

Motor run capacitors are installed by licensed HVAC technicians. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before handling capacitors, and discharge the capacitor fully using an insulated resistor or approved discharge tool before removing terminals. Verify the replacement capacitor matches the original MFD rating and voltage rating at or above the equipment nameplate specification. Installation should comply with NEC requirements for electrical component replacement in HVAC systems.
