Rcd p257-e5464 Condenser Fan Motor Capacitor 208 230V

Product Description

The RCD p257-e5464 is a run capacitor designed for single-phase condenser fan motors rated from 1/6 to 1/3 horsepower operating on 208 or 230 volt circuits. Capacitors in this application maintain the phase shift required to keep the motor running efficiently after startup. This component is a direct OEM-style replacement intended for residential and light commercial HVAC condensing units. Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician during routine motor service, motor replacement, or as part of a no-cool diagnostic repair. The compact 1 x 1 x 1 inch form factor fits standard capacitor brackets found in most condensing unit electrical compartments.

This capacitor is suited for split-system air conditioning and heat pump condensing units that use single-phase PSC condenser fan motors in the 1/6 to 1/3 HP range on 208 or 230 volt single-phase power. It serves as a replacement component during condenser fan motor failure diagnosis or scheduled preventive maintenance. Technicians replacing a failed condenser fan motor should always replace the run capacitor at the same time to prevent premature motor failure from a weakened capacitor.

Key Features

• Rated for condenser fan motors from 1/6 to 1/3 HP
• Compatible with 208 and 230 volt single-phase electrical systems
• Compact 1 x 1 x 1 inch package fits standard condensing unit capacitor mounts
• OEM-style replacement for reliable field serviceability
• Designed for PSC motor run capacitor applications in HVAC condensing units

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement capacitor for residential and light commercial HVAC condensing units using single-phase PSC condenser fan motors rated 1/6 to 1/3 HP at 208 or 230 volts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the condensing unit before accessing the electrical compartment. Capacitors store a charge even after power is removed — discharge the capacitor safely using an insulated resistor tool before handling. Verify voltage and MFD ratings match the motor nameplate before installing the replacement capacitor.
