Ferguson Enterprises cap050000370vap Run Capacitor 5 Mfd 370V

Product Description

The FERGUSON ENTERPRISES cap050000370vap is a single-run capacitor rated at 5 microfarads (MFD) and 370 volts, designed to support motor starting and running performance in HVAC equipment. Run capacitors store and release electrical energy to maintain a consistent phase shift in single-phase motors, improving efficiency and reducing heat buildup during continuous operation. This oval-shaped capacitor is suited for use in condenser fan motors and compressor circuits where a 5 MFD, 370-volt specification is required. Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician as part of a routine service call or repair procedure.

This capacitor is applicable to residential and light-commercial HVAC systems that call for a 5 MFD run capacitor at 370 volts. It fits common applications including condenser fan motor circuits and single-phase compressor support in split-system air conditioners and heat pumps. The oval form factor accommodates standard capacitor mounting brackets found in most condensing units. Technicians often replace run capacitors during seasonal maintenance or when diagnosing weak-start or motor-overheating conditions.

Key Features

• 5 MFD capacitance rating for precise motor phase support
• 370-volt rating suitable for standard residential HVAC motor circuits
• Oval shape fits common condensing unit capacitor brackets
• Run-type design built for continuous duty operation
• Compact form factor simplifies service in tight equipment cabinets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement run capacitor for residential and light-commercial HVAC systems requiring a 5 MFD, 370-volt oval run capacitor.

Installation Notes

Run capacitors must be installed by a qualified HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before handling any capacitor, as capacitors retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed — always discharge the capacitor safely using an insulated resistor tool before touching terminals. Verify the replacement MFD and voltage ratings match the original equipment nameplate before installation. Follow all applicable local codes and manufacturer service guidelines when performing the repair.
