Rcd p291-4514r Dual Run Capacitor 45+10 Mfd 440V

Product Description

The RCD p291-4514r is a dual run capacitor designed to stabilize motor performance in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Rated at 45+10 microfarads (MFD) with a 440-volt AC rating, it maintains proper electrical balance across both the compressor and fan motor circuits simultaneously. The round aluminum case houses a polypropylene film dielectric, which supports stable capacitance over a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 70 degrees C. Quick-connect terminals simplify replacement during service calls. Licensed HVAC technicians install this capacitor as a direct OEM-style replacement when diagnosing hard-start, slow-start, or motor-overload conditions.

This capacitor fits split-system and packaged HVAC equipment where a dual round run capacitor with a 45+10 MFD rating and 440-volt tolerance is specified. Compatible models listed by the manufacturer include 48GCEP06 1 3A, 48GCFP06 2 3A, and 48GCTP06 2 3A. It operates on both 50 Hz and 60 Hz systems, making it suitable for standard North American residential and commercial installations as well as export applications requiring 50 Hz compatibility.

Key Features

• Dual-section design supports compressor and fan motor circuits in a single round capacitor
• 45+10 MFD capacitance with plus or minus 5 percent tolerance for consistent motor balance
• 440V AC voltage rating accommodates both 370V and 440V system requirements
• Polypropylene film dielectric for stable capacitance and long service life
• Aluminum round case with quick-connect terminals for straightforward field replacement
• Rated for 50/60 Hz operation across a -40 to 70 degrees C temperature range

Compatibility

Compatible models include 48GCEP06 1 3A, 48GCFP06 2 3A, and 48GCTP06 2 3A as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

A licensed HVAC technician should perform capacitor replacement. Disconnect and lock out power to the unit before opening the electrical compartment. Capacitors retain a charge after power is removed — discharge the capacitor safely using an appropriate discharge tool before handling or removing terminals. Verify MFD rating and voltage match the equipment nameplate before installing the replacement.
