Value Collection 12918 Motor Run Capacitor 35 Mfd 370V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12918 is a single-section motor run capacitor rated at 35 microfarads (MFD) and 370 volts. Motor run capacitors maintain a continuous phase-shifted current in single-phase induction motors, improving torque and efficiency during operation. This capacitor stays in the circuit while the motor runs, distinguishing it from a start capacitor that disconnects after startup. At 3 inches high and 0.07 pounds, it is compact enough for most residential and light-commercial motor applications. HVAC technicians and motor service professionals install this type of capacitor routinely during seasonal maintenance and motor replacement work.

This capacitor is suited for use with single-phase motors found in residential and light-commercial HVAC equipment, including condenser fan motors, blower motors, and compressor-assist circuits where a 35 MFD 370-volt run capacitor is specified. It is a stock replacement option for failed or weakened run capacitors identified during system diagnostics. Technicians replacing capacitors on cooling season calls will find this rating common across many OEM motor assemblies.

Key Features

• 35 MFD capacitance rating for accurate motor torque and efficiency
• 370-volt AC rating suitable for standard residential motor circuits
• Compact 3-inch height fits tight equipment compartments
• Lightweight at 0.07 pounds for easy handling during overhead or confined-space installs
• Single-section design simplifies direct swap on motors requiring a dedicated run capacitor

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement run capacitor for single-phase motors specifying a 35 MFD 370-volt rating in residential and light-commercial HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Motor run capacitors are installed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified electricians. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before removing or installing a capacitor — capacitors retain a dangerous charge even after power is cut, so discharge the existing capacitor through a resistor before handling terminals. Verify the MFD rating and voltage rating of the replacement match the motor nameplate specification before installation. Follow applicable NEC requirements for electrical work on HVAC equipment.
