Application
This start capacitor is intended for use with Copeland compressors requiring a 430–516 MFD, 125VAC start capacitor. It is commonly used in air conditioning, heat pump, and refrigeration systems where single-phase compressor motors require a start capacitor to achieve proper startup torque. Always verify the original equipment capacitor rating before installation to ensure a correct match.
Installation Notes
- Discharge the old capacitor fully before handling — capacitors can retain a dangerous electrical charge even after power is removed
- Match the MFD rating and voltage rating exactly to the original capacitor specification
- Secure in the original mounting bracket; ensure terminals are tight and insulated
- Consult the equipment service manual or a qualified HVAC technician for proper installation procedures
