Value Collection 12941 Motor Run Capacitor 30 Mfd 440V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12941 is a single-section motor run capacitor rated at 30 microfarads (MFD) and 440 volts, designed to support the starting and running cycles of single-phase AC motors in HVAC and refrigeration equipment. Motor run capacitors maintain the phase shift required to keep the run winding energized efficiently during continuous operation. At 0.7 pounds and compact physical dimensions, this capacitor fits standard mounting locations in condenser units, air handlers, and fan motor assemblies. Licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics are the primary installers for this component type.

This capacitor is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 30 MFD, 440-volt oval or round motor run capacitor is required. Common use cases include condenser fan motor replacement, blower motor servicing, and compressor start-assist circuits where a run capacitor is specified. The 440-volt rating makes it appropriate for both 208-volt and 240-volt single-phase motor circuits, providing a wider voltage tolerance margin in field conditions.

Key Features

• 30 MFD capacitance for continuous motor run duty
• 440-volt rating compatible with 208-volt and 240-volt single-phase circuits
• Compact form factor: 2.91 inches wide by 1.91 inches deep by 3.75 inches high
• Lightweight at 0.7 pounds for easy handling in tight equipment cabinets
• Single-section design for straightforward one-for-one replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for single-phase AC motor run capacitor applications in residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration equipment requiring a 30 MFD, 440-volt rating.

Installation Notes

Installation of motor run capacitors should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified electrician. Always disconnect and lock out power to the unit before servicing capacitors, and discharge the capacitor fully using an approved discharge tool before handling, as capacitors can retain a lethal charge even after power is removed. Verify the replacement MFD and voltage rating match or exceed the original equipment specification before installation. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for electrical component replacement in HVAC systems.
