It uses positive coefficient technology to deliver a strong starting torque boost, then rapidly reduces its assistance once the motor reaches operating speed. Compatible with capacitor ranges of 43-52 microfarads (MFD) at 330 volts, and rated for a wide supply voltage range of 115-288 VAC, the 855 fits a broad range of residential and light commercial equipment. HVAC technicians install this kit to address hard-starting compressors and extend compressor life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 855 is suited for single-phase compressor applications up to 1.5 HP, with a full operating range spanning 1\/2 to 10 HP. It is commonly installed in residential split systems, window units, mini-splits, and similar equipment where compressors struggle to start due to low voltage conditions, worn capacitors, or high back-pressure situations. It works alongside an existing run capacitor and does not require a relay, simplifying the installation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive Temperature Coefficient Resistor technology automatically limits current draw once the motor reaches run speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide voltage compatibility: 115-288 VAC suits a broad range of single-phase systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with 43-52 MFD run capacitors rated at 330 volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended for applications up to 1.5 HP with a full rated range of 1\/2 to 10 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo relay required — connects directly in parallel with the run capacitor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for single-phase compressor applications with run capacitors in the 43-52 MFD range.

Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before beginning work, and discharge the existing run capacitor fully before handling. The 855 connects in parallel with the existing run capacitor — verify capacitor MFD rating is within the 43-52 MFD range before installation. Follow all applicable local codes and manufacturer wiring diagrams during service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 115-288 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Capacitor Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 43-52 MFD at 330 volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Up to 1.5 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull HP Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 to 10 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ICM CONTROLS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 855\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ICM CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345381130546,"sku":"855","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310554346.jpg?v=1782056493","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/icm-controls-855-ptcr-hard-start-kit-up-to-1-5-hp","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
