Value Collection 12969 Dual Run Capacitor 30/5 Mfd 370V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12969 is a dual run capacitor rated at 30/5 microfarads (MFD) and 370 volts, designed for use in single-phase motor circuits found in HVAC equipment. Dual run capacitors serve two motor loads simultaneously, typically supporting both the compressor and the condenser fan motor from a single unit. This capacitor helps start and maintain the running efficiency of those motors by providing the phase shift current each requires. Weighing approximately 0.709 pounds, it is a compact, field-replaceable component handled by licensed HVAC technicians during routine service and equipment repair calls.

This capacitor is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC applications where a single oval or round dual run capacitor replaces a failed or degraded unit. Typical install scenarios include split-system air conditioners and heat pumps where the condensing unit houses both a compressor and fan motor requiring a shared capacitor. It is packaged individually and intended for single-unit replacement work.

Key Features

• Dual run design supports two motor loads — compressor and condenser fan — in one capacitor
• Rated 30/5 MFD for precise capacitance matching to motor specifications
• 370-volt rating suitable for standard residential and light commercial condensing unit circuits
• Compact form factor at approximately 3 inches high for installation in tight equipment cabinets
• Individual packaging supports single-unit service calls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement dual run capacitor for residential and light commercial HVAC condensing units requiring a 30/5 MFD, 370-volt dual run capacitor.

Installation Notes

Dual run capacitors are installed and replaced by licensed HVAC technicians. Always disconnect and lock out power to the condensing unit before servicing capacitors, and discharge the capacitor fully before handling — stored charge can cause serious injury even after power is removed. Verify MFD rating and voltage rating on the failed unit before installing the replacement, as mismatched capacitance will cause motor performance issues or premature failure. Follow all applicable local electrical codes and manufacturer wiring diagrams during installation.
