Product Description
The HEATCRAFT 914-0053-06 is a round start capacitor rated at 53-64 microfarads (MFD) and 330 volts for use in commercial refrigeration and HVAC equipment. Start capacitors provide the initial torque burst required to bring a compressor or fan motor up to operating speed, then drop out of the circuit once the motor reaches running RPM. This unit is rated for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz applications, making it suitable for a broad range of commercial equipment. Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC or refrigeration technician as part of a motor or compressor service call.
This capacitor is designed for commercial appliance and refrigeration applications where Heatcraft components are specified. Typical install scenarios include walk-in cooler and freezer compressor motor circuits, condensing unit fan motors, and other commercial refrigeration systems that use Heatcraft-branded equipment. It is a direct OEM replacement part sourced from Heatcraft Parts and Accessories.
Key Features
- 53-64 MFD capacitance range suits motor start requirements across a range of commercial compressor and fan motor applications
- 330-volt rating provides compatible voltage headroom for standard commercial refrigeration circuits
- Dual-frequency rated at 50/60 Hz for broad equipment compatibility
- Round form factor fits standard capacitor mounting brackets and saddle clamps
- OEM Heatcraft replacement part ensures correct electrical characteristics
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement start capacitor for Heatcraft commercial refrigeration and appliance equipment requiring a 53-64 MFD, 330-volt round start capacitor.
Installation Notes
Start capacitor replacement should be performed by a qualified HVAC or refrigeration technician. Always disconnect and lock out power to the unit before handling capacitors, as they can retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed — discharge the capacitor safely before touching terminals. Verify that the replacement MFD range and voltage rating match the motor nameplate requirements before installation. Follow applicable NEC and local electrical codes for commercial refrigeration wiring and service procedures.
