Value Collection 12930 Motor Run Capacitor 6 Mfd 440V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12930 is a single-section motor run capacitor rated at 6 microfarads (MFD) and 440 volts. Motor run capacitors maintain the phase shift needed to keep single-phase induction motors running smoothly after startup, reducing heat buildup and improving operating efficiency. This capacitor measures 2.16 inches wide, 1.31 inches deep, and 2.375 inches high, making it a compact fit for standard capacitor brackets in air handlers, condenser units, and other motor-driven HVAC equipment. Licensed HVAC technicians are the typical installers for this type of component.

This capacitor is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC applications where a 6 MFD, 440-volt run capacitor is required. Common install scenarios include fan motor replacements in split-system condensing units and air handler blower sections. Its 440-volt rating provides a safety margin in systems operating at 370-volt or 440-volt service, which is standard practice in the trade for extending service life.

Key Features

• 6 MFD capacitance rating for single-phase motor run applications
• 440-volt rating accommodates both 370V and 440V system service
• Compact form factor: 2.16 inches wide, 1.31 inches deep, 2.375 inches high
• Lightweight at 0.295 pounds, suitable for bracket or strap mounting inside equipment cabinets
• Single-unit packaging — no multi-pack quantity required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement run capacitor for single-phase motors in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment requiring a 6 MFD, 440-volt rated capacitor.

Installation Notes

Motor run capacitor replacement is performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Always disconnect and lock out power to the unit before opening the electrical compartment. Capacitors store a charge even after power is removed — discharge the capacitor safely using an insulated resistor discharge tool before handling. Verify the MFD rating, voltage rating, and physical dimensions match the original component before installation.
