Tradepro tp-cap-40/7.5/440-a Dual Run Capacitor 40+7.5 Mfd

Product Description

The TRADEPRO tp-cap-40/7.5/440-a is a dual run capacitor rated at 40+7.5 microfarads (MFD) and 440 VAC, housed in an oval case. Dual run capacitors support both the compressor and the condenser fan motor from a single unit, making them a standard component in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. This capacitor carries UL/CSA recognition and is protected to 10,000 AFC. It meets EIA-456-A standards and undergoes electrical testing before leaving the factory. Licensed HVAC technicians install this part during routine maintenance or as a replacement when a failed capacitor causes hard-start or no-start conditions in a cooling system.

This capacitor is suited for split-system air conditioners and heat pumps where the compressor terminal requires 40 MFD and the fan motor terminal requires 7.5 MFD. The oval form factor fits the capacitor bracket found in many condensing units. It is a direct OEM-quality replacement intended to restore reliable motor-run performance in residential and light commercial applications. Technicians typically encounter this rating in mid-to-large residential condensing units where a single dual capacitor serves both motor loads.

Key Features

• Dual capacitance rating: 40 MFD for compressor, 7.5 MFD for condenser fan motor
• 440 VAC rating provides a voltage margin above the standard 370 VAC systems, improving service life
• UL/CSA recognized construction
• Protected to 10,000 AFC
• Meets EIA-456-A electrical standards
• Oval case for compatibility with standard condensing unit capacitor brackets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-quality replacement dual run capacitor for residential and light commercial split-system air conditioners and heat pumps requiring a 40+7.5 MFD, 440 VAC, oval-style capacitor.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Always disconnect and lock out power to the condensing unit before handling capacitors — capacitors retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed and must be safely discharged before removal. Verify the MFD ratings and voltage rating of the original capacitor before installing a replacement. Follow all applicable local electrical codes and manufacturer service procedures when replacing capacitors in the field.
