Heil Quaker ICP 17400102000017 Capacitor

The Heil Quaker ICP 17400102000017 Capacitor is a high-grade 3MFD 450V capacitor designed specifically for the rigorous demands of residential and commercial HVACR motor run applications. Built for International Comfort Products (ICP) equipment, this OEM replacement capacitor provides the precise phase shift required to maintain optimal torque and efficiency in fan motors and small compressors. Unlike generic alternatives, this component is engineered to handle the high transient voltages common in 450VAC systems, featuring a robust dielectric design that minimizes internal heat dissipation. As a vital HVAC electrical component, it ensures your blower or condenser fan maintains a consistent RPM, preventing the motor overheating issues that lead to premature equipment failure. For technicians servicing Heil, Quaker, or Tempstar units, this motor run capacitor offers the exact fitment and capacitance tolerance needed to restore factory-spec performance. Its compact, resin-sealed housing provides superior resistance to moisture and vibration, making it a reliable choice for outdoor condenser sections and air handlers alike.

• Precise 3 MFD rating ensures accurate motor phase transition for peak mechanical efficiency.
• 450V dielectric strength provides a safety margin against voltage spikes in standard 208/230V circuits.
• OEM direct fit for ICP/Heil Quaker equipment, eliminating the need for mounting bracket modifications.
• Enhanced thermal stability allows for continuous operation in high-ambient environments without capacitance drift.
• High insulation resistance reduces power loss and protects against internal shorting.

Can I use this 450V capacitor to replace a 370V rated unit?
Yes. In HVACR applications, you can always go up in voltage rating (e.g., replacing 370V with 450V) as long as the capacitance (3MFD) matches the motor's requirements. This provides extra protection against electrical stress.

What are the symptoms of a failing 3 microfarad capacitor?
Technicians typically look for a humming motor that fails to start, a fan blade that requires a manual "push" to begin spinning, or visible bulging and leaking from the capacitor casing.

Is this capacitor compatible with non-ICP equipment?
While designed for ICP brands, this is a universal-style motor run capacitor. It can be used in any brand of equipment provided the 3MFD 450V specifications and physical dimensions align with the original part.
