Lennox 47A60 Start Capacitor

The Lennox 47A60 Start Capacitor is a heavy-duty 88-108 Microfarad component engineered to provide the essential starting torque required for high-static HVAC compressors and motors. This 330Vac Round Start Capacitor is a direct replacement for the Lennox 47A6001, ensuring seamless mechanical and electrical compatibility during field repairs. Designed for intermittent duty in single-phase systems, it operates efficiently at 50/60 Hz to assist motors in overcoming initial inertia, particularly in systems equipped with non-bleed TXVs where pressure equalization is not present.

As an OEM-equivalent HVAC motor start capacitor, the 47A60 features a rugged phenolic resin case that withstands the high-amperage surges typical of commercial and residential startup cycles. When diagnosing a compressor that fails to turn over or is currently "humming" at the contractor, verifying the MFD rating of your existing Lennox HVAC capacitor is critical. This round start capacitor is specifically sized to stay in-circuit for the initial quarter-second of operation before being removed by the potential relay, preventing winding overheating and extending the service life of the primary drive motor.

• High Torque Output: Provides a robust 88-108 MFD boost to assist compressors in starting under heavy load or low-voltage conditions.
• Universal Compatibility: The 330V 50/60Hz rating makes it suitable for a wide variety of Lennox replacement parts and general HVACR applications.
• Durable Construction: Built with high-quality dielectric materials to handle the thermal stress of frequent cycling in demanding environments.
• Exact Replacement: Serves as an identical metallurgical and electrical match for 47A6001, reducing diagnostic time and installation errors.

• How do I know if the 47A60 start capacitor is failing? Look for a blown top membrane, leaking dielectric fluid, or use a multimeter to check if the capacitance range falls below 88 MFD.
• Can I use a 330V capacitor to replace a 250V model? Yes, you can always increase voltage ratings for safety, but never decrease them. This 330Vac start capacitor offers a higher safety margin for 230V systems.
• Why does my start capacitor keep burning out? Frequent failure often indicates a sticking potential relay or a motor that is short-cycling more than 20 times per hour, causing the capacitor to overheat.
