Engineered to support both the compressor and condenser fan motor, this round run capacitor provides the proper phase shift needed for efficient motor starting and stable operation throughout the cooling cycle. Manufactured to meet OEM electrical specifications, the 8552-090BX is commonly used in Bard wall-mount air conditioners, heat pumps, and packaged HVAC systems while also serving as a compatible replacement for other equipment requiring identical capacitance and voltage ratings. Its corrosion-resistant metal housing and high-quality dielectric construction are designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments and elevated operating temperatures. Contractors should always verify the microfarad rating, voltage, terminal configuration, and mounting dimensions before installation to maintain proper compressor performance and overall system efficiency.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1071\" data-end=\"1087\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1071\" data-end=\"1087\"\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1089\" data-end=\"1217\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1089\" data-end=\"1109\"\u003eOEM Replacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to meet Bard factory specifications for proper electrical performance and equipment compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1219\" data-end=\"1343\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1219\" data-end=\"1239\"\u003eDual Run Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides \u003cstrong data-start=\"1249\" data-end=\"1259\"\u003e20 MFD\u003c\/strong\u003e for the compressor and \u003cstrong data-start=\"1283\" data-end=\"1292\"\u003e5 MFD\u003c\/strong\u003e for the condenser fan motor in a single capacitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1345\" data-end=\"1482\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1345\" data-end=\"1364\"\u003e440 VAC Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for systems requiring either a 370 VAC or 440 VAC capacitor when the capacitance matches OEM specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1484\" data-end=\"1611\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1484\" data-end=\"1509\"\u003eDurable Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal case and premium internal components provide reliable operation in demanding HVAC environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1613\" data-end=\"1633\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1613\" data-end=\"1633\"\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1635\" data-end=\"1857\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1635\" data-end=\"1681\"\u003eWhat does the 20\/5 microfarad rating mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1681\" data-end=\"1684\"\u003eThe capacitor provides \u003cstrong data-start=\"1707\" data-end=\"1717\"\u003e20 MFD\u003c\/strong\u003e for the compressor circuit and \u003cstrong data-start=\"1749\" data-end=\"1758\"\u003e5 MFD\u003c\/strong\u003e for the condenser fan motor, allowing both components to operate from a single dual run capacitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1859\" data-end=\"2079\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1859\" data-end=\"1915\"\u003eCan a 440 VAC capacitor replace a 370 VAC capacitor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1915\" data-end=\"1918\"\u003eYes.
