Value Collection 11949 Motor Run Capacitor 145-175 Mfd

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 11949 is a motor run capacitor rated at 145-175 microfarads (MFD) and 250 volts, designed for use in single-phase electric motors found in HVAC and industrial equipment. Motor run capacitors maintain a continuous phase shift in the start winding during normal operation, improving motor efficiency and torque. This capacitor is sized for larger motor loads and is a direct-replacement-style component installed by licensed HVAC technicians and electricians during routine service or motor failure diagnosis.

This capacitor suits residential and light commercial HVAC applications where high-MFD motor run support is required. Typical install scenarios include blower motor and condenser fan motor circuits in air handlers, heat pumps, and packaged rooftop units. Its 250-volt rating makes it appropriate for standard single-phase motor circuits in these systems.

Key Features

• Wide MFD range of 145-175 provides flexibility across compatible motor applications
• 250-volt rating suitable for standard single-phase HVAC motor circuits
• Compact form factor at 0.424 pounds for easy handling in tight equipment compartments
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward one-for-one replacement service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement motor run capacitor for single-phase motors requiring a 145-175 MFD, 250-volt capacitor. Verify motor nameplate MFD rating and voltage before installation.

Installation Notes

Motor run capacitors are installed by licensed HVAC technicians or electricians. Always disconnect and lock out power to the unit before servicing capacitors, as capacitors retain a charge even after the unit is powered down — discharge the capacitor safely using an insulated resistor before handling. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for electrical component replacement. Confirm the replacement MFD rating and voltage match the motor nameplate specifications before energizing the system.
