Rheem-Ruud USA2029 Single Oval Run Capacitor 5 MFD 440 VAC

The Rheem-Ruud USA2029 is a single oval run capacitor rated at 5 MFD (µF) and 440 VAC, designed for use in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. This capacitor provides the continuous electrical boost needed to keep fan motors and compressor motors running efficiently at peak performance.

Key Features:

• Capacitance: 5 MFD (microfarads / µF)
• Voltage Rating: 440 VAC
• Configuration: Single (one capacitance value)
• Shape: Oval case — compact design for tight installation spaces
• Function: Run capacitor for single-phase AC motors (fan motors, blower motors)
• OEM Part Number: USA2029
• Brand: Rheem-Ruud / Rheem Manufacturing

Run capacitors like the USA2029 are critical components in air conditioning condensers, heat pumps, and air handlers. They maintain a continuous phase-shifted current to keep the motor running smoothly, reducing energy consumption and extending motor life. The 440 VAC rating provides added voltage headroom over standard 370 VAC units, making it a suitable direct replacement in many applications. Always verify capacitance (MFD) and voltage ratings when selecting a replacement capacitor.
