York S1-024-20062-700 Run Capacitor
The York S1-024-20062-700 Run Capacitor is a high-spec 5 Microfarad 440Vac Oval Run Capacitor designed for precise motor phase shift and torque regulation in York HVAC units. Engineered to handle continuous duty cycles, this HVAC motor capacitor features a heavy-duty 440V run capacitor rating, providing significant overhead for systems that typically pull at 370V. This extra voltage tolerance ensures the internal dielectric fluid stays stable under high thermal loads, preventing the common "mushrooming" or bulging that leads to total fan motor failure.
As a genuine OEM replacement part, the S1-024-20062-700 fits exactly into the standard oval mounting brackets found in York air handlers and condenser sections. Replacing a weak run capacitor with this specific 5 MFD unit restores the electromagnetic field necessary for blower motors and outdoor fans to reach their rated RPM quickly, reducing start-up amperage and protecting the motor windings from excessive heat. For those servicing older York gear, this is the standard tech-recommended solution for restoring system efficiency and preventing secondary failures in the compressor circuit.
Key Benefits- Universal Compatibility: Direct OEM replacement part for York, Coleman, and Luxaire systems requiring a 5 MFD 440V/370V single-run configuration.
- High-Voltage Safety: Rated at 440Vac, offering superior resistance to voltage spikes compared to standard 370V alternatives.
- Physical Durability: Standard oval design fits original equipment mounting straps without modification.
- Optimal Motor Performance: Tight +/- 5% capacitance tolerance ensures your fan motor runs at nameplate efficiency.
Can I use a 440V capacitor if my old one said 370V?
Yes. In the field, we always suggest upgrading to a 440V capacitor. It effectively handles the standard voltage while providing more "headroom" against heat and electrical surges, which helps the component last longer in high-ambient environments.
What happens if I use the wrong microfarad (MFD) rating?
Using anything other than a 5 MFD capacitor for a motor rated for 5 MFD will cause the motor to run hot, draw more amps, and eventually burn out the start windings. Always match the microfarad rating exactly to the manufacturer's specs.
Does it matter which way I connect the wires?
On a single-run capacitor like this one, the terminals are not polarized. However, if there are multiple prongs on a single terminal, they are all connected internally, so you can use any prong on that specific terminal side for your lead.
