As a genuine \u003cstrong\u003eOEM replacement capacitor\u003c\/strong\u003e, this unit provides the precise 50 MFD for the compressor and 5 MFD for the condenser fan motor required to maintain optimal motor torque and efficiency. Rated for \u003cstrong\u003e440 volts\u003c\/strong\u003e, it effectively replaces older 370V versions, offering superior dielectric strength and resistance to voltage surges in demanding residential and commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed with a \u003cstrong\u003eround aluminum case\u003c\/strong\u003e and metallized polypropylene film, the \u003cstrong\u003eP291-5054RS\u003c\/strong\u003e is engineered for a broad operating temperature range of -40°C to 70°C. This \u003cstrong\u003eHVAC dual run capacitor\u003c\/strong\u003e features standard 1\/4-inch quick-connect terminals for a straightforward swap-out during routine maintenance or emergency repairs. Its internal pressure-sensitive interrupter ensures a safe end-of-life failure mode, protecting the system's more expensive motor components from catastrophic electrical faults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Rated Precision:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivers 50+5 MFD at +\/- 5% tolerance for stable compressor and fan operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Voltage Versatility:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 440VAC rating makes it a robust upgrade for systems originally using 370V capacitors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct replacement for \u003cstrong\u003eCarrier\u003c\/strong\u003e, Bryant, and Payne part numbers including HC98KA051 and 1186414.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustrial Build:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil-filled, non-PCB design housed in a rugged, moisture-resistant aluminum canister.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this 440V capacitor if my old one was rated for 370V?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. While you should never undersize voltage, a \u003cstrong\u003e440Vac run capacitor\u003c\/strong\u003e is a standard upgrade for 370V units, providing increased durability against voltage spikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know if my dual run capacitor has failed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTechnicians look for physical signs like a \"domed\" or bulging top, but a multimeter test for microfarads (MFD) is the only way to confirm if it has drifted outside the +\/- 5% tolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the \"dual\" rating signify in this part?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt means the \u003cstrong\u003eP291-5054RS\u003c\/strong\u003e houses two separate capacitors in one can—one for the compressor (Hermetic) and one for the fan motor—saving space inside the control box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: red;\"\u003eThis item is not eligible for free shipping.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisclaimer: While we strive for 100% accuracy, product data and specifications are subject to change.
