Value Collection 12934 Motor Run Capacitor 15 Mfd 440V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12934 is a single-section motor run capacitor rated at 15 microfarads (MFD) and 440 volts, designed for use in single-phase AC motor circuits. Motor run capacitors maintain a continuous phase shift in the start winding during normal operation, improving motor efficiency and torque characteristics. This unit measures 2.91 inches wide by 1.91 inches deep by 2.375 inches high and weighs approximately 0.48 pounds. It is a general-purpose component installed by HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and electricians working on fan motors, compressor circuits, and similar motor-driven equipment.

This capacitor is suited for residential and light commercial motor applications where a 15 MFD, 440-volt run capacitor is specified. Typical installations include condenser fan motors, blower motors, and other single-phase induction motors that require a run capacitor to maintain proper phase relationship during operation. The 440-volt rating allows it to serve circuits commonly found in standard HVAC condensing units and air handlers.

Key Features

• 15 MFD capacitance rating for consistent motor run performance
• 440-volt AC rating suitable for common residential and light commercial motor circuits
• Compact form factor: 2.91 inches wide x 1.91 inches deep x 2.375 inches high
• Lightweight at 0.48 pounds for easy handling in tight equipment enclosures
• Single-package quantity for straightforward one-for-one replacement

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement motor run capacitor for single-phase AC motors requiring a 15 MFD, 440-volt rating. Verify the MFD value, voltage rating, and physical dimensions against the original capacitor before installation.

Installation Notes

Motor run capacitors are installed by licensed HVAC technicians or electricians. Always disconnect and lock out power to the equipment before handling capacitors, as they can retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed — discharge the capacitor through an appropriate resistor before touching terminals. Confirm the replacement MFD and voltage rating match the original nameplate specifications. Follow applicable NEC requirements for electrical connections and enclosure integrity.
