Rated at 270-324 microfarads (MFD), it delivers the added starting torque needed to get compressors turning under high-load or low-voltage conditions. This kit is designed for units in the 3.5 to 5 horsepower range and is installed by licensed HVAC technicians during compressor service, equipment commissioning, or as a retrofit to address hard-start or failed-start conditions in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hard start kit is suited for residential and light commercial air conditioning and heat pump systems in the 3.5 to 5 HP compressor range. It is compatible with PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) and CSIR (Capacitor Start Induction Run) type compressors. The 2-wire installation design simplifies retrofit work, allowing technicians to add hard-start capability to existing systems without extensive rewiring. It is appropriate for split systems, package units, and other single-phase compressor-driven equipment where starting reliability is a service concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e270-324 MFD start capacitor range provides high starting torque for 3.5 to 5 HP compressors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with PSC and CSIR type compressors for broad application coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-wire installation simplifies retrofit and reduces labor time\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMechanical Potential Relay design provides voltage-sensing for reliable start and instant re-start capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL Recognized component meeting recognized safety standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNATE Recognized (Course 1867-0002) and built on OEM-approved technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on single-phase PSC and CSIR type compressors rated 3.5 to 5 HP.

Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the unit before beginning any wiring work. The 2-wire connection attaches to the compressor start terminal and the run capacitor; verify terminal identification before connecting. Capacitors store electrical charge and must be safely discharged before handling any existing capacitor components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacitance Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 270-324 MFD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHorsepower Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 to 5 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelay Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mechanical Potential Relay (MPR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Compressor Types\u003c\/strong\u003e: PSC, CSIR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWiring Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-wire installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: UL Recognized, NATE Recognized (Course 1867-0002)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: TRADEPRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: tp-2w2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TRADEPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383891657010,"sku":"TP-2W2","price":72.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312674786.webp?v=1782610822","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/tradepro-tp-2w2-hard-start-kit-mpr-270-324-mfd-3-5-to-5-hp","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
