Copeland catalogs it as a \u003cstrong\u003eCAP \u0026amp; RELAY ASSM\u003c\/strong\u003e: a pre-wired \u003cstrong\u003ecapacitor and relay assembly\u003c\/strong\u003e housed in a \u003cstrong\u003egalvanized steel enclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003emounting flange feet\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003ecolor-coded wire harness\u003c\/strong\u003e (red, yellow, black and green leads) that exits through a rubber grommet. Everything the start circuit needs is sealed in one can, so the compressor gets its \u003cstrong\u003estarting torque\u003c\/strong\u003e and the start components drop out of the circuit once the motor is up to speed. \u003cstrong\u003e514-1246-00\u003c\/strong\u003e is part of the \u003cstrong\u003e514-1246-xx\u003c\/strong\u003e series, which also includes \u003cstrong\u003e514-1246-01\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e514-1246-02\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e514-1246-03\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA single-phase compressor motor has little starting torque on its own. A \u003cstrong\u003estart capacitor\u003c\/strong\u003e shifts current in the start winding to get the rotor turning, and a \u003cstrong\u003estarting relay\u003c\/strong\u003e (a potential-type relay on most assemblies of this kind) opens the start circuit when the motor reaches speed. When these parts weaken, the compressor \u003cstrong\u003ehums and trips on overload\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003estarts slowly or not at all\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eshort-cycles\u003c\/strong\u003e, or you find a \u003cstrong\u003ebulging or leaking capacitor\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eburnt relay contacts\u003c\/strong\u003e. Replace the capacitor and relay together as an assembly so the two stay matched. Always shut off and lock out power and \u003cstrong\u003edischarge the capacitor\u003c\/strong\u003e before touching the harness. Each \u003cstrong\u003e514-1246\u003c\/strong\u003e dash number is its own assembly, so order the exact number on your original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Start Circuit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Capacitor and relay arrive \u003cstrong\u003epre-wired in one enclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the pair stays matched and you skip separate component sourcing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Copeland Assembly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specified by Copeland as the \u003cstrong\u003e514-1246-00\u003c\/strong\u003e start package, not a universal substitute.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRugged Steel Enclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003cstrong\u003egalvanized steel housing\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003emounting flanges\u003c\/strong\u003e protects the components and bolts down securely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRestores Reliable Starting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cures \u003cstrong\u003ehard starting\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eoverload trips on start\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eshort-cycling\u003c\/strong\u003e caused by a weak capacitor or worn relay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs -00 interchangeable with -01, -02 or -03?\u003c\/strong\u003e Not automatically. \u003cstrong\u003e514-1246-00\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e514-1246-01\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e514-1246-02\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e514-1246-03\u003c\/strong\u003e are separate Copeland part numbers; match the dash number on your original assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat symptoms point to this assembly?\u003c\/strong\u003e A compressor that \u003cstrong\u003ehums but will not start\u003c\/strong\u003e, trips its overload on start, starts slowly, or short-cycles, along with a \u003cstrong\u003eswollen capacitor\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eburnt relay contacts\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs there a safety step before replacement?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
