Motors and Armatures 12264 Dual Run Capacitor 30/5 Mfd

Product Description

The MOTORS AND ARMATURES 12264 is a dual run capacitor rated at 30/5 MFD and 370 volts, designed for use in single-phase HVAC systems. Dual run capacitors serve two functions in one can: they support the compressor start and run windings and the condenser fan motor simultaneously. This reduces component count and simplifies wiring in the control cabinet. The round case format is the standard form factor found in residential and light commercial condensing units. Licensed HVAC technicians install and replace this component as part of routine maintenance or when diagnosing motor start and run faults.

This capacitor is suited for residential and light commercial split-system air conditioners and heat pumps that use a shared capacitor for both the compressor and condenser fan motor. It fits applications where the original equipment calls for a 30/5 MFD dual run capacitor in a round case. Typical installation scenarios include seasonal tune-ups, warranty repairs, and service calls where a failed or degraded capacitor is identified as the cause of motor starting or running problems.

Key Features

• Dual run capacitor supports compressor and condenser fan motor from a single unit
• 30/5 MFD rating covers the compressor run winding at 30 MFD and the fan motor at 5 MFD
• 370-volt rating suitable for standard single-phase residential HVAC equipment
• Round case form factor matches the most common OEM capacitor configuration in condensing units
• Direct replacement format simplifies field swaps without bracket or wiring modifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement dual run capacitor for residential and light commercial split-system condensing units requiring a 30/5 MFD, 370-volt round capacitor.

Installation Notes

Capacitor replacement is performed by licensed HVAC technicians. Disconnect and lock out power to the condensing unit at the disconnect box before servicing. Capacitors retain a high-voltage charge even after power is removed and must be safely discharged with an appropriate resistive discharge tool before handling. Follow local electrical codes and manufacturer wiring diagrams when reconnecting terminals.
