Description
Lennox 16J97 Dual Run Capacitor — 35+10 MFD @ 440 VAC
The Lennox 16J97 is a dual run (capacitor-run) capacitor rated at 35+10 microfarads (MFD) and 440 VAC, designed to keep both the compressor and condenser fan motor running efficiently in residential and light-commercial HVAC systems. By combining two capacitance values into a single compact oval or round case, this dual-run design simplifies installation and reduces the number of components inside the unit.
