Value Collection 12910 Motor Run Capacitor 15 Mfd 370V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12910 is a single-section motor run capacitor rated at 15 microfarads (MFD) and 370 volts. Motor run capacitors remain in the circuit continuously during operation, maintaining the phase shift needed to keep single-phase induction motors running efficiently. This capacitor stands 3.75 inches high and weighs approximately 0.38 pounds. HVAC technicians and refrigeration service pros install these capacitors in condensing unit fan motors, compressor circuits, and other single-phase motor applications where a continuous-duty capacitor is required.

Motor run capacitors at this MFD and voltage rating are commonly found in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment. Typical applications include condenser fan motors and blower motors in split-system air conditioners, heat pumps, and packaged units. The 370-volt rating makes this capacitor suitable for standard 208-230 volt single-phase motor circuits encountered in most residential and small commercial installations.

Key Features

• 15 MFD capacitance for continuous motor run duty
• 370-volt rating compatible with 208-230 volt single-phase circuits
• Compact form factor at 3.75 inches high
• Lightweight at 0.38 pounds for easy handling in confined equipment bays

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement motor run capacitor for single-phase induction motors requiring a 15 MFD, 370-volt continuous-duty capacitor.

Installation Notes

Motor run capacitors must be replaced by a qualified HVAC technician or electrician. Always disconnect and lock out power to the unit before servicing capacitors, and discharge any stored charge using an insulated resistor or discharge tool before handling. Verify the replacement MFD and voltage rating match the motor nameplate or OEM specification before installation. Capacitors store lethal voltage even after power is removed — never bypass discharge procedures.
