Bard HVAC 8552-050BX Run Capacitor

The Bard HVAC 8552-050BX is a 40/5 MFD dual run capacitor rated at 370 VAC, designed for compatible HVAC equipment requiring separate compressor and fan motor capacitance in a single component.

This Bard HVAC run capacitor combines a 40-microfarad section and a 5-microfarad section to support the operation of properly matched compressor and condenser fan motor circuits. Its dual-section design helps maintain the electrical characteristics required for efficient motor operation.

The 370V AC motor run capacitor is intended for continuous-duty applications where the equipment specifies matching capacitance values and voltage ratings. Its listed 2-1/2-inch dimension should be checked against the available mounting space and original component.

When replacing an existing HVAC dual run capacitor, technicians should verify capacitance, voltage, terminal identification, physical dimensions, and equipment compatibility. Proper wiring and capacitor selection are essential for reliable motor operation and to help prevent equipment damage.

Key Benefits

• 40/5 MFD Dual Capacitance: Provides separate capacitance sections for compatible compressor and fan motor circuits.

• 370 VAC Rating: Designed for HVAC applications requiring a 370V AC motor run capacitor.

• Dual Run Configuration: Combines two capacitor sections in one component.

• 2-1/2" Listed Dimension: Helps technicians evaluate replacement fit and mounting clearance.

Common Questions

What does 40/5 MFD mean on the Bard 8552-050BX capacitor?

The capacitor contains two sections rated at 40 and 5 microfarads, typically used for compressor and fan motor circuits in compatible HVAC equipment.

Can a 440V capacitor replace this 370V capacitor?

Generally, a 440 VAC motor run capacitor may replace a 370 VAC capacitor when the capacitance ratings, capacitor type, terminal configuration, and physical fit match the equipment requirements.

Will the Bard 8552-050BX fit any HVAC system using a 40/5 MFD capacitor?

Not necessarily. Verify the original equipment part number, electrical specifications, dimensions, mounting arrangement, and wiring connections before installation.
