Product Description
The TURBO AIR capmk183d is a run capacitor rated at 12 microfarads (MFD) and 250 volts AC, designed for use in commercial refrigeration and HVAC equipment. Run capacitors maintain a continuous phase shift in the motor winding circuit, keeping single-phase motors running efficiently after startup. This component is an OEM-sourced part from TURBO AIR, intended for service technicians replacing failed or degraded capacitors in commercial appliance applications. A weak or failed run capacitor commonly causes motors to run hot, draw excessive amperage, or fail to start entirely.
This run capacitor is suited for commercial refrigeration units and light commercial HVAC equipment where a 12 MFD, 250 VAC capacitor is specified. Typical installation scenarios include compressor motor or fan motor circuits in reach-in coolers, refrigerated prep tables, and similar commercial appliance platforms. Service technicians replacing a capacitor should verify the MFD rating and voltage rating match the original component exactly before installation.
Key Features
- 12 MFD capacitance rating for precise motor circuit phase shift
- 250 volts AC rating suitable for standard commercial equipment motor circuits
- OEM TURBO AIR part ensuring direct fit for applicable units
- Run-type design for continuous duty motor operation
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement run capacitor for TURBO AIR commercial refrigeration and appliance equipment requiring a 12 MFD, 250 VAC run capacitor.
Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a qualified refrigeration or HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before handling capacitors, as run capacitors can retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed — discharge the capacitor through a resistor before touching terminals. Verify that the replacement MFD and voltage ratings match the original specification exactly, as mismatched ratings will cause motor damage or premature failure. Follow applicable local electrical codes and manufacturer service procedures.
