Value Collection 12929 Motor Run Capacitor 5 Mfd 440V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12929 is a single-phase motor run capacitor rated at 5 microfarads (MFD) and 440 volts. Motor run capacitors maintain a continuous phase shift in single-phase induction motors, improving torque and running efficiency. This capacitor is sized for smaller fractional-horsepower motors commonly found in HVAC equipment, including condenser fan motors and blower motors. It weighs 0.289 pounds and measures 2.16 inches wide by 1.31 inches deep by 2.375 inches high. Licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics typically handle capacitor replacement during routine service calls or equipment diagnosis.

This capacitor is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC applications where a 5 MFD, 440-volt single-phase run capacitor is specified. It fits standard oval or round capacitor mounting configurations in air conditioning condensers, heat pumps, and air handlers. The 440-volt rating provides a margin of safety for systems operating on standard 208-240 volt circuits, which is consistent with best practices for run capacitor selection.

Key Features

• 5 MFD capacitance rating for small fractional-horsepower motor loads
• 440-volt rating provides operating margin on 208-240 volt single-phase systems
• Compact footprint: 2.16 inches wide by 1.31 inches deep by 2.375 inches high
• Lightweight at 0.289 pounds for easy handling during service

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement run capacitor for single-phase motors requiring a 5 MFD, 440-volt rating, such as condenser fan motors and blower motors in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Verify existing capacitor MFD and voltage ratings before installation.

Installation Notes

Capacitor replacement is performed by licensed HVAC technicians. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the unit before handling any capacitor, and discharge the existing capacitor fully before removal, as capacitors can retain a lethal charge even after power is cut. Follow NEC guidelines and local electrical codes when making terminal connections. Never install a capacitor with a lower voltage rating than what the motor manufacturer specifies.
