Bard 8552-026 Run Capacitor
The Bard 8552-026 (now superseded by 8552-026BX) is a critical 15 Microfarad 370Vac Round Run Capacitor designed for precision in wall-mounted HVAC equipment. Built for heavy-duty commercial and industrial applications, this dry-type run capacitor provides the consistent phase shift and reactive power necessary to maintain peak condenser fan motor and blower performance. Its 1-3/4 inch diameter form factor is engineered for a direct-fit replacement within the electrical cabinet, ensuring proper mounting and heat dissipation. Operating a system with a weak or out-of-spec capacitor leads to increased amperage draw, motor overheating, and nuisance tripping of thermal overloads. This HVAC replacement part is hermetically sealed in a drawn steel casing with non-PCB oil to handle the high thermal stress of 24/7 climate control operations. Whether you are servicing a Bard unit on a modular office or an industrial enclosure, verify that your microfarad and voltage requirements match this 15 MFD 370V single run capacitor to prevent premature motor failure and ensure OEM compatibility.
Key Benefits for Technicians:- Exact OEM Replacement: Direct match for Bard 8552-026 and 8552-026BX, eliminating guesswork on capacitor sizing.
- Increased Motor Longevity: Maintains the required torque for condenser fan motors, preventing excessive heat buildup and winding failure.
- Durable Construction: Features a moisture-resistant casing and quad-blade quick-connect terminals for fast, secure wiring.
- High Dielectric Strength: Rated for 370Vac applications to provide consistent capacitance even during high-ambient temperature spikes.
Can I use a 440V capacitor to replace this 370V model?
Yes, you can upgrade to a higher voltage rating (e.g., 440Vac) as long as the capacitance remains exactly 15 MFD, but you must never use a lower voltage capacitor than the original spec.
What are the symptoms of a failing 15 MFD 8552-026 capacitor?
Common signs include a loud humming from the condenser unit without the fan spinning, the motor casing feeling hot to the touch, or the compressor cycling off on internal overload because the fan isn't moving enough air.
Is the "BX" suffix on the part number important?
The "BX" version is the current boxed SKU for the same 8552-026 technical specification; they are functionally identical and fully interchangeable.
