Copeland 998-1014-85 Compressor Hard Start Capacitor & Relay Kit

The Copeland 998-1014-85 is a factory-engineered hard start kit designed specifically for Copeland brand compressors used in HVAC and refrigeration systems. This assembly combines a start capacitor and potential relay to provide enhanced starting torque and reliable compressor operation.

Key Features:

• Complete hard start kit includes both start capacitor and potential relay components
• Provides additional starting torque during compressor startup phase
• Potential relay automatically disconnects start capacitor once compressor reaches operating speed
• Helps compressors start reliably in challenging conditions such as low voltage situations or high ambient temperatures
• Reduces strain on compressor during startup, extending equipment lifespan
• Factory-specified components engineered for precise compatibility with Copeland compressor models

This hard start kit works by delivering a boost of electrical energy during the critical startup phase when the compressor requires maximum torque. The potential relay monitors compressor speed and removes the start capacitor from the circuit once proper operating speed is achieved, preventing damage from prolonged capacitor engagement. Ideal for retrofit applications, replacement installations, or systems experiencing difficult starting conditions.
