Mars 12896 Dual Run Capacitor 60/7.5 MFD 370V Round

The Mars 12896 is a dual section motor run capacitor designed for residential and light commercial HVAC applications. This round capacitor features a 60/7.5 microfarad (MFD) rating at 370 volts AC, making it ideal for air conditioning systems, heat pumps, and other climate control equipment that require dual motor support.

Key Features:

• Dual capacitance rating: 60 MFD and 7.5 MFD in one compact housing
• 370 VAC voltage rating for standard HVAC applications
• Round aluminum canister construction for durability
• Supports both compressor and fan motor circuits simultaneously
• Standard 1/4-inch quick-connect terminals for easy installation
• 50/60 Hz frequency compatibility
• JARD by Mars brand - quality budget alternative for replacement applications

Motor run capacitors work by altering electrical current to create a rotating magnetic field in single-phase induction motors. The dual section design allows this capacitor to support two separate motors or circuits because it houses two capacitors in one body, reducing installation space and complexity. By making various parallel connections, this capacitor can also be configured to obtain other microfarad ratings for flexible applications.
