Tradepro tp-cap-50/5/440 Dual Run Capacitor 50/5 Mfd 440V

Product Description

The TRADEPRO tp-cap-50/5/440 is a dual run capacitor rated at 50/5 microfarads (MFD) and 440 volts, designed for use in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Dual run capacitors serve two motor circuits simultaneously, providing starting and running support for both the compressor and the condenser fan motor in a single round or oval canister. Licensed HVAC technicians install this component as a direct replacement when a failed capacitor causes hard-start conditions, compressor drop-out, or fan motor failure to run.

This capacitor is suited for split-system air conditioners and heat pumps that require a 50 MFD compressor section and a 5 MFD fan motor section at a 440-volt rating. The 440-volt rating provides compatibility across systems nominally rated at both 370-volt and 440-volt applications, making it a practical field replacement in a wide range of residential condensing units. HVAC service technicians keep this value on hand as one of the most common dual run capacitor configurations encountered in the field.

Key Features

• Dual run capacitor supports compressor and condenser fan motor from a single unit
• 50 MFD compressor section and 5 MFD fan motor section in one canister
• 440-volt rating compatible with both 370-volt and 440-volt rated systems
• Common field-replacement value for split-system air conditioners and heat pumps
• Reduces truck stock complexity by covering a broad range of equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement dual run capacitor for residential and light commercial split-system air conditioners and heat pumps requiring a 50/5 MFD, 440-volt dual run capacitor.

Installation Notes

Dual run capacitors must be installed by a qualified HVAC technician. Shut off all power to the condensing unit at the disconnect and verify zero voltage with a meter before handling the capacitor, as capacitors can hold a dangerous charge even after power is removed — discharge the capacitor through a resistor before touching terminals. Match the terminal labels (HERM, FAN, COM) to the existing wiring before removal to ensure correct reconnection. Follow applicable local electrical codes and manufacturer service documentation when completing the replacement.
