Hartland Controls CAP-25/440 Run Capacitor
The Hartland Controls CAP-25/440 is a heavy-duty 25 MFD 440VAC oval run capacitor engineered for continuous duty in residential and commercial HVACR systems. As a professional-grade metallized polypropylene film capacitor, it provides the necessary phase shift to maintain motor torque and efficiency. This specific model features a dual voltage rating, meaning it is fully compatible with both 370V and 440V applications. For technicians replacing the CPT0160, this unit serves as the direct cross-reference, ensuring a precise electrical match without the need for mounting modifications. Built to EIA-456 standards, the CAP-25/440 is housed in a rugged aluminum casing with a 60,000-hour operational life rating at 70°C, offering superior heat dissipation compared to standard plastic-cased alternatives. Whether you are servicing a blower motor or a light-duty compressor, this HVAC replacement capacitor delivers the reliability required to prevent nuisance service calls and premature motor failure.
Key Benefits- Universal Voltage Compatibility: Rated for 440VAC but serves as a high-durability upgrade for 370VAC systems.
- Exact Cross-Reference: Specifically designed to replace CPT0160 and generic 25 microfarad run capacitors.
- Technical Endurance: Rated for 60,000 hours of operation under standard thermal loads.
- Internal Safety: Features a 10,000 AFC internal protector to prevent case rupture at end-of-life.
- Standardized Form Factor: The oval run capacitor geometry fits standard mounting brackets in most air handlers and condensers.
Can I use this 440V capacitor if my old one was 370V?
Yes. You can always increase the voltage rating, as it represents the insulation's maximum threshold. However, you must ensure the capacitance remains exactly 25 MFD.
What happens if the capacitance (MFD) is not a perfect match?
Using a different MFD rating will shift the motor's magnetic field, leading to increased amperage draw, excessive heat, and eventually a burned-out motor winding.
Is the CAP-25/440 suitable for outdoor condenser units?
Yes, it is rated for operating temperatures between -40°C and 70°C, making it ideal for high-ambient outdoor environments.
