Value Collection 12906 Motor Run Capacitor 6 Mfd 370V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12906 is a single-section motor run capacitor rated at 6 microfarads (MFD) and 370 volts, designed to maintain the continuous phase shift needed to keep single-phase induction motors running efficiently. Motor run capacitors stay energized throughout the full run cycle, unlike start capacitors that disconnect after startup. This unit measures 1.5 inches in height and weighs 0.3 pounds. It is a common replacement component installed by licensed HVAC technicians and electricians in fan motors, compressor circuits, and other inductive motor loads found in residential and light commercial equipment.

This capacitor is suited for single-phase motor applications where a 6 MFD, 370-volt run capacitor is specified. Typical installations include condenser fan motors, blower motors, and similar fractional horsepower motor circuits. The 370-volt rating makes it appropriate for standard residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems operating on 120-volt or 240-volt single-phase power. Technicians should verify the required MFD value and voltage rating against the original equipment nameplate before installation.

Key Features

• Rated at 6 MFD for continuous motor run duty
• 370-volt rating compatible with standard single-phase residential and light commercial circuits
• Compact at 1.5 inches in height and 0.3 pounds
• Single-section design for straightforward one-to-one replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement run capacitor for single-phase induction motors requiring a 6 MFD, 370-volt rating. Always confirm the original capacitor specifications from the equipment nameplate or service manual before substituting.

Installation Notes

Motor run capacitors carry a lethal charge even after power is removed. Always shut off and lock out power to the unit and discharge the capacitor fully before handling or removing terminals. Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or electricians. Replacement capacitors should match or exceed the original voltage rating and match the MFD rating within the tolerance specified by the equipment manufacturer.
