Single Run Capacitor, Oval, 10/440 uF

Jard 10 MFD 440V Oval Motor Run Capacitor – Heavy-Duty HVAC Performance

The Jard 12932 is a single-value oval run capacitor designed for continuous-duty operation in HVAC and refrigeration systems. Rated at 10 microfarads (MFD) and 440 VAC, this unit provides reliable phase shift to keep permanent split capacitor (PSC) motors operating with stable torque and high efficiency.

Engineered with metallized polypropylene film and a sealed aluminum case, the 12932 supports robust electrical performance and protection under high thermal and mechanical stress. It features an internal pressure interrupter for added safety and long-term dependability in field conditions.
