MARS 12734 Run Capacitor
The MARS 12734 Run Capacitor is a legacy-grade 15 MFD 440V round capacitor engineered for continuous duty in demanding HVACR environments. This single capacitance motor run component serves as the direct replacement for CPT0274, ensuring a precise match for Trane, American Standard, and other OEM equipment requiring a 15 microfarad 440VAC rating. Designed with an aluminum case and a 60,000-hour operational life, it maintains a stable phase shift for optimal motor torque and efficiency. With a broad operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C and a standard 1.75-inch diameter, this dual voltage 370/440V unit fits standard mounting brackets, making it a reliable choice for condenser fan motors and small compressor applications.
Technical Performance Benefits
- Universal Compatibility: The 440/370V rating allows this HVAC run capacitor to be utilized in both low and high-voltage applications without performance loss.
- Enhanced Durability: Constructed with non-PCB oil and a pressure-sensitive interrupter to protect against internal pressure buildup and potential case rupture.
- Efficient Heat Dissipation: The round aluminum composition housing ensures superior thermal conductivity, critical for maintaining capacitance stability in high-ambient condenser sections.
- Simplified Installation: Features standard 1/4-inch 4-terminal quick-connect studs for fast wiring in tight electrical cabinets.
