Application
The P291-8054R is intended as a replacement run capacitor for Carrier air conditioners and heat pumps. Run capacitors remain energized throughout the motor’s operation, improving efficiency and power factor while reducing motor operating temperature. Always verify the capacitance (MFD) and voltage rating against the original equipment nameplate before installation.
Installation Notes
- Discharge the old capacitor fully before handling — capacitors can retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed
- Match terminal labels (HERM, FAN, COM) to the existing wiring during replacement
- Ensure the mounting bracket or strap is compatible with the round form factor
- Consult the equipment service manual or a qualified HVAC technician if unsure of compatibility
