Value Collection 12884 Dual Run Capacitor 25/5 Mfd 440V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12884 is a dual run capacitor rated at 25/5 microfarads (MFD) and 440 volts, designed for use in single-phase motor applications common to HVAC systems. Dual run capacitors serve two motor circuits simultaneously, providing the continuous capacitance needed to keep both the compressor and the condenser fan motor running at correct phase and efficiency. Standing 3 inches high, the 12884 is a compact unit suited for installation in standard condenser unit capacitor brackets. HVAC technicians install this type of capacitor as a direct replacement when a failed unit causes hard-start conditions, motor humming, or system shutdown.

This capacitor is appropriate for residential and light commercial HVAC applications where a single dual run capacitor handles both the compressor and fan motor loads. It is a common replacement component in split-system air conditioners and heat pump condensing units. The 440-volt rating provides compatibility with both 370-volt and 440-volt rated systems, making it a versatile service replacement for a range of equipment configurations encountered in the field.

Key Features

• Dual run design supports two motor circuits from one capacitor — compressor and condenser fan
• 25/5 MFD rating covers common compressor and fan motor capacitance requirements
• 440-volt rating is compatible with both 370-volt and 440-volt system applications
• Compact 3-inch height fits standard capacitor mounting brackets in condensing units
• Package quantity of 1 unit for straightforward single-unit service calls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement dual run capacitor for residential and light commercial split-system air conditioners and heat pump condensing units requiring a 25/5 MFD, 440-volt dual run capacitor.

Installation Notes

Dual run capacitors are installed by licensed HVAC technicians. Disconnect and lock out all power to the condensing unit before servicing — capacitors retain a charge even after power is removed and must be safely discharged before handling. Verify the MFD ratings and voltage rating of the original capacitor before installing the replacement. Follow all applicable local electrical codes and manufacturer wiring diagrams when reconnecting terminals.
