Rated at 30/5 microfarads and 440 VAC, this capacitor supports both the compressor and the fan motor simultaneously, making it a convenient single-component solution for common air conditioning and heat pump applications.
Key Features
- Dual-section round capacitor — powers compressor and condenser fan motor in one unit
- Capacitance rating: 30/5 µF (microfarads)
- Voltage rating: 440 VAC
- Round form factor for easy installation and secure mounting
- OEM-quality construction for long service life and consistent performance
- Designed as a direct replacement for compatible Rheem and Ruud equipment
Application
The USA2226 is intended for use in Rheem and Ruud air conditioning systems, heat pumps, and other HVAC equipment requiring a dual run capacitor. Replacing a weak or failed run capacitor restores proper motor torque, reduces amp draw, and helps prevent compressor and fan motor damage caused by hard starts.
Why Replace Your Run Capacitor?
A failing run capacitor is one of the most common causes of air conditioner and heat pump service calls. Symptoms include hard starts, humming motors, reduced cooling efficiency, and system shutdowns. Installing a quality OEM-spec replacement like the Rheem-Ruud USA2226 ensures your system operates at peak efficiency and extends equipment life.
