Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

This capacitor directly replaces any dual run capacitor with matching specifications. Verify the following ratings on your original capacitor:

• Capacitance: 30/7.5 uF or 30+7.5 MFD
• Voltage: 370V or 440V (this 370/440V unit can replace either)
• Shape: Round (ensure physical dimensions allow for a secure fit)

Compatibility & Fitment

Designed for use in HVAC systems, including central air conditioners and heat pumps. This dual capacitor provides power to two electric motors simultaneously:

• A higher capacitance terminal (30 uF) for the compressor motor (HERM).
• A lower capacitance terminal (7.5 uF) for the condenser fan motor (FAN).

When to Replace

A capacitor may need replacement if you observe these symptoms:

• Outdoor unit hums but the fan does not spin.
• Compressor fails to start or struggles to turn on.
• AC unit starts but then shuts down shortly after.
• Visible signs of damage, such as a bulging or leaking top.
• Capacitance measures outside the ¬±5% tolerance when tested with a multimeter.

Installation Tips

• WARNING: Disconnect all electrical power to the HVAC unit before handling the capacitor.
• Safely discharge the old capacitor by carefully shorting across the terminals with an insulated-handle screwdriver.
• Document or photograph the wire connections to the C, FAN, and HERM terminals before removal.
• Connect the wires to the corresponding terminals on the new capacitor.
• Secure the new capacitor in the mounting bracket to prevent vibration.
