Rcd p291-5574rs Dual Run Capacitor 55+7.5 Mfd 440V

Product Description

The RCD p291-5574rs is a dual run capacitor designed to support reliable motor starting torque and stable continuous operation in residential and commercial HVAC systems. Rated at 55+7.5 microfarads (MFD) and 440 volts AC, it handles both the compressor and fan motor circuits in a single round housing. The polypropylene film and aluminum construction resist breakdown under sustained electrical load, helping extend the service life of connected motor components. Quick-connect terminals simplify installation and reduce wiring time during field replacement. Licensed HVAC technicians install this capacitor as a direct OEM-style replacement when capacitance values have degraded or the unit has failed completely.

This dual run capacitor fits residential and light-commercial split-system air conditioning equipment. Compatible models include 38YR 060 300, 597ANX060000AAAA, and 38TR 060 300. The round form factor and standard quick-connect terminal configuration make it a practical replacement in high-ambient-temperature installations where capacitor failure is a common seasonal service call. The 50/60 Hz rating supports both standard North American and international frequency applications. A tolerance of plus or minus 6 percent keeps motor performance within acceptable operating parameters across varying load conditions.

Key Features

• Dual capacitance rating of 55+7.5 MFD supports compressor and fan motor circuits in a single unit
• 440V AC rating with 370/440V compatibility for broad system fitment
• Round aluminum housing with polypropylene film dielectric for durability under continuous load
• Quick-connect terminals for fast, tool-minimal field replacement
• Plus or minus 6 percent capacitance tolerance for consistent motor performance
• Rated for 50/60 Hz operation

Compatibility

Compatible models include 38YR 060 300, 597ANX060000AAAA, and 38TR 060 300. Designed as an OEM-style replacement dual run capacitor for residential and light-commercial split-system air conditioning equipment requiring a 55+7.5 MFD, 440V round capacitor.

Installation Notes

Capacitor replacement is performed by licensed HVAC technicians. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before opening the electrical compartment. Capacitors store a charge even after power is removed — discharge the capacitor using an approved discharge tool or resistor before handling or removing terminals. Verify replacement capacitance and voltage ratings match the equipment nameplate before energizing the system.
