Lennox by Mars® 99W98 – 30/10 MFD 440V Round Dual Run Capacitor
The 99W98 capacitor is a dual-value motor run capacitor rated at 30/10 microfarads (MFD) with a voltage rating of 440 VAC. It is housed in a round aluminum case and serves both the compressor and the fan motor in HVAC systems utilizing permanent split capacitor (PSC) motors.
This component is typically installed in residential and light commercial air conditioning or heat pump units. It provides continuous run support and helps stabilize motor operation under load.

Application and Compatibility
Designed for Lennox systems requiring 30/10 MFD at 440V
Suitable for compressors and condenser fan motors in air-cooled split systems
Intended for PSC motors that require separate capacitance values for dual components
Replaces standard dual capacitors within the same rating and voltage class
Installation Notes
Always disconnect power and discharge the existing capacitor before handling
Verify terminal labeling and match correct connections (C to line, FAN to fan motor, HERM to compressor)
Mount using standard round strap or capacitor clamp
Only qualified HVAC technicians should install or service electrical components to ensure safety and code compliance
Contractor Considerations
OEM rating ensures proper fit and function in Lennox equipment
Aluminum case with integrated interrupter for internal pressure protection
440V rating allows for additional headroom in high-load environments
Reduces motor wear and extends system lifespan when properly matched and maintained
