Value Collection 12931 Motor Run Capacitor 7.5 Mfd 440V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12931 is a motor run capacitor rated at 7.5 microfarads (MFD) and 440 volts, designed to support the continuous operation of single-phase AC motors in HVAC and refrigeration equipment. Motor run capacitors maintain a phase shift in the auxiliary winding during normal motor operation, improving efficiency and reducing electrical noise. This unit stands 2.625 inches tall and weighs approximately 0.306 pounds, making it a compact, drop-in replacement for similarly rated capacitors. It is installed by licensed HVAC technicians and electricians during routine equipment service or motor replacement.

This capacitor is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 7.5 MFD, 440-volt round run capacitor is specified. Common installations include condenser fan motors, blower motors, and compressor-assist circuits in split-system air conditioners, heat pumps, and packaged rooftop units. The 440-volt rating provides compatibility across both 208-240-volt and 277-volt motor applications, giving technicians a single part that covers a wider range of field situations.

Key Features

• 7.5 MFD capacitance rating for motor run applications
• 440-volt rating compatible with 208-240V and 277V motor circuits
• Compact form factor at 2.625 inches tall for tight equipment compartments
• Lightweight at 0.306 pounds for easy single-hand installation
• Single-package quantity suitable for service truck stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for single-phase AC motors requiring a 7.5 MFD, 440-volt run capacitor in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment.

Installation Notes

Motor run capacitors must be installed by a qualified HVAC technician or licensed electrician. Always disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before replacing a capacitor, and discharge the existing capacitor using an approved resistive discharge tool before handling. Verify that the replacement MFD rating and voltage rating match the motor nameplate specifications before installation. Follow NEC guidelines for electrical connections and equipment grounding.
