• Hermetically sealed
• Drawn steel case construction
• Quad blade quick connect terminals

A run capacitor is used to continuously adjust current or phase shift to a motor’s windings in an effort to optimize the motor’s torque and efficiency performance. Because it is designed for continuous duty, it has a much lower failure rate than a start capacitor.

The run capacitor is placed in series with the start winding of a motor and will remain in the circuit as the motor operates. As current flows through the run capacitor and the start winding, it causes a phase shift of the motor’s current, thus improving the power factor of the motor.

The 440 volts listed on the capacitor is the maximum allowable voltage the capacitor can handle. So a 440 volt is a H.D. replacement for a 370 volt capacitor.
