Mars 12794 Dual Run Capacitor 60/5 Mfd 440V

Product Description

The MARS 12794 is a dual run capacitor rated at 60/5 microfarads (MFD) and 440 volts, designed for use in split-system air conditioners, heat pumps, and other HVAC equipment. Dual run capacitors serve two motor circuits simultaneously, providing start and run support for both the compressor and the condenser fan motor from a single round capacitor can. HVAC technicians install this component during routine capacitor replacement calls or when diagnosing weak-start and motor-overload faults. The 60 MFD winding supports the compressor circuit while the 5 MFD winding supports the fan motor circuit.

This capacitor is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC applications where a 60/5 MFD dual run capacitor at 440 volts is specified. The 440-volt rating makes it compatible with both 370-volt and 440-volt AC circuits, giving technicians flexibility when sourcing a field replacement. Always confirm the MFD ratings and voltage rating match the equipment nameplate before installation.

Key Features

• Dual run design supports compressor and condenser fan motor circuits from a single component
• 60/5 MFD rating serves the two most common motor circuit demands in residential split systems
• 440-volt rating is compatible with standard 370-volt and 440-volt HVAC applications
• Single-unit replacement reduces parts count and simplifies service calls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement dual run capacitor for residential and light commercial HVAC systems requiring a 60/5 MFD at 440 volts. Verify the MFD ratings and voltage rating on the equipment nameplate before substituting this capacitor.

Installation Notes

Dual run capacitors are installed by licensed HVAC technicians. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before handling capacitors, as capacitors store a lethal charge even after power is removed - discharge the capacitor through a resistor before touching terminals. Inspect the capacitor can for bulging, oil leakage, or corrosion before completing the repair. Installation should comply with NEC requirements and the equipment manufacturer's wiring diagram.
