Mars 12793 – Jard Dual Run Capacitor, 55/7.5 MFD, 370/440V, Round Case
The Mars 12793 capacitor from the Jard product line is a dual-rated motor run capacitor used in HVAC systems where both the compressor and fan motor are powered by a single component. Rated for 55/7.5 microfarads at 370/440 volts AC, this capacitor supports permanent split capacitor (PSC) motors found in air conditioning condensers and heat pump applications.
The capacitor is constructed with metallized polypropylene film and enclosed in an oil-filled aluminum case. It includes an internal pressure interrupter for enhanced safety and meets industry standards for continuous-duty service in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment.
