Value Collection 11961 Motor Run Capacitor 72-88 Mfd

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 11961 is a motor run capacitor rated at 72-88 microfarads (MFD) and 330 volts, used to start and sustain the operation of single-phase AC motors in HVAC and refrigeration equipment. Motor run capacitors maintain a continuous phase shift in the auxiliary winding of a motor, improving torque and run efficiency. This capacitor is installed by licensed HVAC technicians as a replacement component in air conditioning condensers, heat pumps, and air handlers where the original capacitor has tested out of tolerance or failed entirely. At 1 pound, it is a compact, direct-swap part suited for field service work.

This capacitor is appropriate for single-phase PSC (permanent split capacitor) motors commonly found in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment. Typical applications include condenser fan motors and compressor start or run circuits where a 72-88 MFD, 330-volt rating is specified by the OEM. Technicians select this wide-tolerance MFD range to cover multiple motor specs with a single part, simplifying field stock requirements. It is installed in the electrical compartment of the outdoor condensing unit or air handler cabinet.

Key Features

• Wide 72-88 MFD tolerance range covers multiple motor applications with one part
• Rated at 330 volts for standard single-phase motor circuits
• Compact form factor suited for condenser and air handler electrical compartments
• Lightweight at 1 pound for easy handling during field service
• Sold individually, one capacitor per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for single-phase PSC motor circuits requiring a 72-88 MFD, 330-volt run capacitor. Verify OEM capacitor rating before installation.

Installation Notes

Motor run capacitors must be installed by a qualified HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before servicing the electrical compartment, and discharge the existing capacitor fully before handling — stored voltage can be present even after power is removed. Match the MFD rating and voltage rating to the motor nameplate or OEM specification before installing the replacement. Work must comply with applicable local electrical codes and NEC requirements.
