Mars 12929 – 5 MFD Oval Motor Run Capacitor, 440V
The Mars 12929 capacitor is a single-value motor run capacitor rated at 5 microfarads (µF) with a 440 VAC voltage rating. It is built for continuous-duty operation in single-phase HVAC systems and is typically used in fan and blower motor applications requiring low capacitance values. The oval aluminum case allows for compact installation in confined or space-limited electrical enclosures.
