Compatibility & Fitment

• Application: Designed for HVAC systems, including air conditioners and heat pumps, to power the compressor and fan motor.
• Voltage Compatibility: Replaces both 370 VAC and 440 VAC capacitors with a 60/5 MFD rating. A 440V capacitor can safely replace a 370V unit.
• Physical Dimensions: Verify case dimensions for proper fit. Common dimensions for this rating are approximately 2.5 inches in diameter.

When to Replace

• The outdoor unit's fan or compressor fails to start or struggles to run.
• A humming noise is heard from the unit without the fan or compressor engaging.
• The capacitor casing is visibly swollen, cracked, or leaking an oily substance.
• Capacitance measures outside the specified ±5% tolerance when tested with a multimeter.

Installation Tips

• Warning: Installation should be performed by a qualified technician. High voltage is present.
• Disconnect all electrical power to the unit at the breaker and service panel before beginning work.
• Safely discharge the existing capacitor by shorting the terminals with an insulated screwdriver or a high-wattage resistor.
• Document or photograph the wire connections to the C, HERM, and FAN terminals before removal.
• Secure the new capacitor in the mounting bracket and connect the wires to the corresponding terminals.
