Rcd p291-7054r Dual Run Capacitor 70+5 Mfd 440V

Product Description

The RCD p291-7054r is a dual run capacitor rated at 70 plus 5 microfarads (MFD) and 440 volts AC, designed to support the continuous operation of compressors and fan motors in heat pump and air conditioning systems. Built in a round aluminum housing with quick-connect terminals, this capacitor maintains the phase shift needed to keep both the compressor and the condenser fan motor running within spec. It operates across a wide temperature range of -29 to 68 degrees C and is rated for 50/60 Hz service. Licensed HVAC technicians install this part as a direct OEM-style replacement during seasonal tune-ups or unplanned service calls.

This dual run capacitor is suited for residential and light commercial heat pump applications where a single round capacitor serves both the compressor and fan motor circuits simultaneously. Compatible units include the 50VL C48 30, 50VT C48 30, and 50VL C60 30 platforms, among others. Its 440V rating provides adequate headroom for standard single-phase condensing unit circuits, and the quick-connect terminals allow for efficient swap-out during field service.

Key Features

• Dual run capacitor supports both compressor and condenser fan motor from a single unit
• 70 plus 5 MFD capacitance with a tight plus or minus 6 percent tolerance
• 440V AC rating with 50/60 Hz compatibility
• Quick-connect terminals for fast, tool-free wiring connections
• Round aluminum housing rated from -29 to 68 degrees C
• Weighs 2 pounds with a compact 6.6 x 2.9 x 2.9 inch profile

Compatibility

Confirmed compatible with Carrier 50VL C48 30, 50VT C48 30, and 50VL C60 30 units; consult the full model fitment list for additional compatible systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the condensing unit before handling capacitors, as they retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed — discharge the capacitor through a resistor before touching terminals. Verify the replacement MFD ratings and voltage match the existing capacitor exactly before installation. Follow NEC guidelines for low-voltage wiring and observe all local codes applicable to refrigeration equipment service.
