Value Collection 12914 Motor Run Capacitor 20 Mfd 370V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12914 is a motor run capacitor rated at 20 microfarads (MFD) and 370 volts, designed to support the starting and running performance of single-phase AC motors in HVAC and refrigeration equipment. Motor run capacitors maintain a continuous phase shift in the auxiliary winding, enabling smooth motor operation under load. This unit weighs 0.484 pounds and is a direct-fit form factor suited for field replacement. HVAC technicians and refrigeration service pros are the primary installers for this type of component.

This capacitor is commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, including condenser fan motors, compressor circuits, and air handler blower motors that require a 20 MFD run capacitor at 370 volts. It is appropriate for any single-phase PSC motor application where a round or oval 20 MFD 370-volt capacitor is specified by the equipment manufacturer.

Key Features

• 20 microfarad (MFD) capacitance for motor run applications
• 370-volt rating suitable for standard residential HVAC motor circuits
• Lightweight at 0.484 pounds for easy handling in confined equipment compartments
• Single-unit packaging for individual field replacements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement run capacitor for single-phase PSC motors rated at 20 MFD and 370 volts in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment.

Installation Notes

Motor run capacitors must be installed by a qualified HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before removing or handling the capacitor, as capacitors retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed — discharge the capacitor safely before touching terminals. Verify the MFD rating, voltage rating, and terminal configuration match the original component before installation. Follow all applicable local electrical codes and manufacturer wiring diagrams during replacement.
