Tradepro tp-cap-45/5/440 Dual Run Capacitor 45+5 Mfd 440 Vac

Product Description

The TRADEPRO tp-cap-45/5/440 is a dual run capacitor rated at 45+5 microfarads (MFD) and 440 VAC, designed to support the simultaneous starting and running of compressor and fan motor windings in split-system and packaged HVAC equipment. Its oval form factor fits the standard capacitor brackets found in most residential and light commercial air conditioning units and heat pumps. The unit carries UL and CSA recognition and meets EIA-456-A electrical standards. Each capacitor is tested to 10,000 AFC protection before leaving the factory, ensuring consistent performance and long service life under continuous duty conditions.

This capacitor is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC applications where a single dual-run capacitor serves both the compressor and the condenser fan motor. It is a direct service replacement for aging or failed capacitors in split-system air conditioners, heat pumps, and packaged rooftop units. The 440 VAC rating makes it compatible with both 370 VAC and 440 VAC rated circuits, giving technicians flexibility when stocking a single unit for multiple service calls. Installation is handled by licensed HVAC technicians during routine seasonal maintenance or emergency service calls.

Key Features

• Rated for 50/60 Hz systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-quality replacement dual run capacitor for residential and light commercial split-system air conditioners, heat pumps, and packaged HVAC units requiring a 45+5 MFD, 370 VAC or 440 VAC oval capacitor.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the condensing unit before handling the capacitor, as capacitors store a lethal electrical charge even after power is removed — discharge the old capacitor through a resistor before touching its terminals. Verify the replacement MFD values and voltage rating match or exceed the OEM specification before energizing the system. Follow all applicable local electrical codes and NEC guidelines for low-voltage and line-voltage wiring in HVAC equipment.
