True Manufacturing 956740 Start Capacitor 378-454 Mfd 165V

Product Description

The TRUE MANUFACTURING 956740 is a start capacitor rated at 378 to 454 microfarads (MFD) and 165 volts, designed to provide the high-torque starting boost that compressor and fan motors require during initial startup. Start capacitors store an electrical charge and release it in a brief, high-energy burst to get the motor shaft turning against load resistance. Once the motor reaches operating speed, the capacitor drops out of the circuit. This part is installed by licensed refrigeration technicians and HVAC service pros working on commercial refrigeration equipment.

This start capacitor is a direct replacement for True Manufacturing OEM part 13556535 and is intended for use in commercial refrigeration units where the compressor or motor circuit requires a 378-454 MFD start capacitor operating at 165 volts. It is typically found in reach-in coolers, undercounter units, and similar commercial refrigeration equipment manufactured by True Manufacturing.

Key Features

• 378 to 454 MFD capacitance range provides the correct starting surge for compatible motor circuits
• 165-volt rating matches OEM electrical specifications
• Direct replacement for True Manufacturing OEM part number 13556535
• Designed for short-duty start capacitor circuits that disengage after motor startup

Compatibility

Direct replacement for True Manufacturing OEM part number 13556535. Designed for True Manufacturing commercial refrigeration equipment requiring a 378-454 MFD, 165-volt start capacitor.

Installation Notes

Start capacitors must be installed by a qualified refrigeration or HVAC technician. Always disconnect and lock out power to the unit before servicing any electrical components. Capacitors can retain a dangerous electrical charge even after power is removed — discharge the capacitor through an appropriate resistor before handling. Verify capacitance and voltage ratings match the motor nameplate and wiring diagram before installation.
