Value Collection 12905 Motor Run Capacitor 5 Mfd 370V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12905 is a single-phase motor run capacitor rated at 5 microfarads (MFD) and 370 volts, designed to support continuous operation in electric motors found in HVAC and light commercial equipment. Motor run capacitors maintain a phase shift in the start winding during normal operation, improving motor efficiency and torque stability. This unit weighs 1 pound and is suited for replacement applications where a 5 MFD, 370-volt round or oval capacitor is required. HVAC technicians and electricians are the primary installers for this type of component.

This capacitor is used in single-phase PSC motors commonly found in condenser fan motors, blower motors, and compressor-assist configurations in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. It is appropriate for service replacement in split systems, package units, and fan coil applications where a 5 MFD, 370-volt run capacitor is the specified value. Always verify the MFD rating and voltage rating on the original capacitor before installing a replacement.

Key Features

• 5 MFD capacitance rating for use in single-phase motor run circuits
• 370-volt rating suitable for standard residential and light commercial HVAC motors
• Compact form factor at 1 pound shipping weight
• Direct replacement for failed or degraded motor run capacitors of matching specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement motor run capacitor for single-phase PSC motors requiring a 5 MFD, 370-volt rating. Always match the MFD value, voltage rating, and terminal configuration to the original capacitor before installation.

Installation Notes

Motor run capacitors are installed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified electricians. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before servicing. Capacitors store a charge even after power is removed — always discharge the capacitor safely using an approved resistor or discharge tool before handling. Follow NEC guidelines for electrical connections and ensure terminals are secure before restoring power.
