Mars 12789 – Jard by Mars Dual Motor Run Capacitor, 45/7.5 MFD, 370/440V
The Mars 12789 capacitor from the Jard line is a dual-section run capacitor designed for use in HVAC systems requiring support for both a compressor and a fan motor. With a capacitance rating of 45/7.5 microfarads (MFD) and a voltage rating of 370/440 VAC, this component is well-suited for air conditioning and heat pump units that utilize permanent split capacitor (PSC) motors.
Manufactured with metallized polypropylene film and encased in an oil-filled aluminum canister, this unit ensures long service life and high reliability under continuous-duty operation. The capacitor includes a built-in pressure-sensitive interrupter for safety and conforms to industry-standard electrical ratings.
