Rcd p291-3054rs Dual Run Capacitor 30+5 Mfd 440V Ac

Product Description

The RCD p291-3054rs is a dual run capacitor rated at 30+5 microfarads (MFD) and 440 volts AC, designed as a direct OEM-style replacement in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Run capacitors provide the phase shift needed to keep the compressor and fan motor running at proper efficiency during normal operation. Built with an aluminum housing in a round form factor, the p291-3054rs is rated for operation from -40 to 70 degrees C and meets CE and cRUus certification standards. Licensed HVAC technicians install this part as a routine service replacement when a failed capacitor causes compressor or fan motor hard-start or no-start conditions.

This capacitor is suited for room air conditioners and split-system HVAC equipment that require a dual run capacitor serving both the compressor and condenser fan motor circuits. Documented compatible models include 462AJC024BA, 52CEA015401AA, and additional units. Technicians should verify capacitance and voltage ratings against the original nameplate before installation. The quick-connect terminal type simplifies swap-out during field service calls.

Key Features

• Dual capacitor in a single round case — 30 MFD compressor section and 5 MFD fan section
• 440V AC rating provides voltage headroom suitable for standard residential and light commercial equipment
• Quick-connect terminals allow fast field replacement without specialty tools
• Wide temperature range of -40 to 70 degrees C supports operation in demanding ambient conditions
• CE and cRUus certified for compliance with North American and international safety standards
• Compact round aluminum housing at 5.8 x 2.4 x 2.2 inches and 0.5 pounds

Compatibility

Compatible models include 462AJC024BA, 52CEA015401AA, and additional units per manufacturer compatibility documentation. Verify rated capacitance and voltage against the existing capacitor before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before handling capacitors, as run capacitors retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed — discharge the capacitor safely using an approved discharge tool before removal. Match the MFD rating and voltage rating exactly to the original part; substituting a lower-voltage or incorrect capacitance value can damage the motor or compressor. Follow all applicable local codes and manufacturer service guidelines during installation.
