Rcd p291-6074r Dual Run Capacitor 60+7.5 Mfd 370/440V

Product Description

The RCD p291-6074r is a dual run capacitor rated at 60+7.5 microfarads (MFD) and 370/440 volts AC, designed to support both the compressor and fan motor circuits in a single unit. Built with a polypropylene film dielectric and an aluminum case, this round capacitor maintains stable power delivery across 50/60 Hz systems. It carries a capacitance tolerance of plus or minus 6 percent and a temperature rating of -29 to 68 degrees C, making it suitable for demanding residential and light commercial HVAC duty cycles. Licensed HVAC technicians install this part as a direct OEM-style replacement during routine maintenance or compressor-start failure diagnosis.

This capacitor is used in split-system air conditioners and heat pumps where a single dual-rated capacitor serves both the condenser fan motor and the compressor. It is documented as compatible with the following Carrier model numbers: 38BYC048 320, 38BRW048 320, and 597CNX048000AFAA. It is well suited to residential condensing units that require a compact round capacitor in tight equipment compartments.

Key Features

Compatibility

Compatible with Carrier models 38BYC048 320, 38BRW048 320, and 597CNX048000AFAA as an OEM-style replacement dual run capacitor.

Installation Notes

Capacitor replacement is performed by licensed HVAC technicians. Disconnect and lock out all power to the condensing unit before opening the electrical compartment. Capacitors retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed — discharge the capacitor safely using an insulated resistor or approved discharge tool before handling terminals. Follow NEC guidelines and local codes when replacing electrical components in HVAC equipment.
