Amana-Goodman CAP050150440RSP Run Capacitor

The Amana-Goodman CAP050150440RSP is a professional-grade 15/5 MFD 440V dual run capacitor engineered for precision motor start and run cycles in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. As a critical OEM replacement part, this round metal canister unit provides the necessary phase shift for both the compressor (15 MFD) and the condenser fan motor (5 MFD). Technicians often utilize this model for its high-voltage tolerance, as it safely replaces 370VAC equivalents while offering superior dielectric strength and thermal stability. This dual run capacitor is the direct cross-reference for legacy part numbers CAP050150370RSS, CAP050150440RSS, and D6789054. Field-tested for reliability in Amana and Goodman condensing units, it ensures optimal microfarad stability under heavy electrical loads and high ambient temperatures, preventing premature motor failure caused by capacitance drop-off.

Key Benefits for Contractors

• Broad Compatibility: Direct OEM replacement for Goodman, Amana, and Janitrol equipment, consolidating truck stock requirements.
• Enhanced Durability: Rated at 440VAC, providing a robust safety margin over standard 370V capacitors to handle voltage spikes.
• Precision Capacitance: Maintains a tight +/- 5% tolerance for 15/5 microfarad outputs, ensuring proper motor torque and efficiency.
• Standardized Housing: The round dual-can design fits standard mounting straps without the need for field modifications.
• Interchangeable Specs: Effectively replaces various HVAC dual run capacitors with matching MFD ratings, including older RSS series components.

Common Questions

Can I use a 440V capacitor to replace a 370V capacitor?
Yes, technicians prefer the 440VAC CAP050150440RSP because it handles higher voltage stress than 370V models, providing better protection for the compressor and fan motor circuits.

How do I identify the terminals on this dual capacitor?
The terminals are clearly marked: 'Herm' for the 15 MFD compressor lead, 'Fan' for the 5 MFD fan motor lead, and 'C' for the common line.

What happens if a 15/5 MFD capacitor fails?
Failure usually results in a humming motor that fails to start or a compressor that trips the thermal overload, leading to a complete loss of cooling capacity.
