Description
Product Overview
The Mars 12078 is a 40/3 Microfarad (MFD) dual run capacitor rated at 440 VAC, engineered to support both the compressor and the fan motor in a single round housing. Dual run capacitors are a staple in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, providing the sustained capacitance needed to keep motors running efficiently throughout the cooling or heating cycle.
Key Features
- Dual run capacitor supports compressor and fan motor simultaneously
- Capacitance rating: 40/3 Microfarad (MFD/µF)
- Voltage rating: 440 VAC
- Round housing for easy, space-saving installation
- Replaces failed or weak run capacitors in split systems, heat pumps, and package units
- Designed for long service life and consistent electrical performance
Application
The Mars 12078 is ideal for use in air conditioning condensing units, heat pumps, and package HVAC equipment where a single dual-rated capacitor is used to run both the compressor and the condenser fan motor. It is a direct replacement for OEM capacitors with matching MFD and voltage ratings.
