Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers
This capacitor replaces any round or oval dual run capacitor with matching 45+5 uF capacitance and 370V or 440V specifications. It serves as a universal replacement for a wide range of part numbers from various manufacturers.
Compatibility & Fitment
Designed for heavy-duty, continuous use in HVAC systems such as central air conditioners and heat pumps. This dual run capacitor powers a compressor motor (HERM terminal) and a fan motor (FAN terminal) simultaneously from a single common line (C terminal). It is compatible with units requiring the specified capacitance and voltage.
When to Replace
A failing capacitor can cause damage to motors. Consider replacement if you observe the following symptoms:
- Compressor or fan motor struggles or fails to start.
- AC unit hums but does not activate.
- Fan spins slowly or not at all.
- Visible signs of damage, such as a bulging or leaking capacitor case.
- Measured capacitance is outside the rated tolerance (e.g., not within ±6% of 45/5 uF).
Installation Tips
- Warning: Capacitors can store a lethal electrical charge even when power is off.
- Disconnect all electrical power to the HVAC unit at the main breaker panel before proceeding.
- Safely discharge the old capacitor by carefully shorting across the terminals with an insulated-handle screwdriver.
- Confirm the uF and VAC ratings of the replacement match the original component.
- Note the wire placement on the C, FAN, and HERM terminals before disconnecting.
- Ensure all new connections are secure. Professional installation by a qualified technician is recommended.
