Value Collection 11954 Motor Capacitor 270-324 Mfd 250V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 11954 is a motor run capacitor rated for 270 to 324 microfarads (MFD) at 250 volts. Motor run capacitors maintain the phase shift and current needed to keep single-phase induction motors running smoothly after startup. This type of component is found in HVAC blower motors, condenser fan motors, and other rotating equipment where continuous duty operation is required. Licensed HVAC technicians and electricians typically handle capacitor replacement as part of routine service or equipment repair. The 1 pound weight makes it straightforward to handle and position during installation.

This capacitor is suited for single-phase motor applications in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. It is commonly installed in air handlers, rooftop units, condensing units, and similar equipment where the OEM capacitor has failed or drifted outside acceptable MFD tolerance. Capacitor replacement is one of the most frequent service calls in the HVAC trade, and a correctly rated run capacitor is critical to motor longevity and efficiency.

Key Features

• Wide MFD range of 270 to 324 microfarads accommodates tolerance variation in motor specifications
• Rated at 250 volts for compatibility with standard single-phase motor circuits
• Compact and lightweight at 1 pound for easy installation in tight equipment cabinets
• Continuous duty design intended for motor run applications, not start-only use
• Single-unit packaging allows exact quantity purchasing for service calls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement run capacitor for single-phase induction motors requiring 270 to 324 MFD at 250 volts. Confirm motor nameplate MFD and voltage ratings before installation.

Installation Notes

Capacitor replacement is performed by qualified HVAC technicians or licensed electricians. Always disconnect and lock out power to the unit before touching any capacitor — run capacitors store a charge and must be safely discharged before handling. Use an insulated discharge tool or resistor before removing leads, and verify the replacement MFD and voltage ratings match or fall within the motor manufacturer's specified tolerance. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for electrical service work.
