Copeland 914-0037-38 Run Capacitor

The Copeland 914-0037-38 Run Capacitor is a high-duty electrical component specifically engineered for HVAC compressor motor applications. Providing a precise 80 microfarad (MFD) capacitance with a 370Vac rating, this round run capacitor is the direct OEM replacement for specialized units such as the Copeland ZB38KA-PFV scroll compressor. Built to withstand the rigorous duty cycles of commercial and residential refrigeration systems, it ensures the phase shift required for optimal motor torque and running efficiency. Its robust aluminum casing and oil-filled design facilitate superior heat dissipation, reducing the risk of premature failure due to thermal stress in high-ambient environments. For contractors handling condensing unit repairs, this capacitor maintains stable voltage levels, protecting the compressor windings from amperage spikes. Verified for use in both 50Hz and 60Hz cycles, this 80 MFD 370V capacitor is essential for restoring system performance and meeting manufacturer power factor specifications during heavy load conditions.

• Stable Capacitance: Consistent 80 MFD output ensures the motor maintains the correct magnetic field for efficient rotation.
• OEM Compatibility: Specifically designed for Copeland scroll compressors, guaranteeing exact fit and electrical alignment.
• Enhanced Durability: Metal-can construction with a high-grade dielectric fluid provides reliable service in demanding HVAC applications.
• Voltage Protection: Rated for 370Vac to safely manage operational voltage across residential and light commercial power supplies.

Common Questions:

Can I use a 440V capacitor to replace this 370V model?
Yes, a higher voltage rating (440V) can safely replace a 370V capacitor as long as the capacitance remains 80 microfarads and the physical dimensions allow for a secure fit in the mounting bracket.

How do I know if my Copeland scroll compressor needs a new run capacitor?
Common signs include a compressor that "hums" but fails to start, intermittent tripping of the thermal overload, or visible "bulging" and leaking of the capacitor's top terminal plate.

What are the physical dimensions of the 914-0037-38?
This is a standard round-style capacitor with a diameter of approximately 2.5 inches and a height of roughly 4.75 inches, though specifications may vary slightly by manufacturing batch.
